What At all is “Self Exclusionary Response Found”?

One phrase that became so confusing during the third week of January 2023 was “Self Exclusionary Response Found” as a reason for the decline of SASSA SRD R350 in 2023

They wondered what SASSA meant by this although it was later revealed that as the applicant had chosen an answer to a question makes the applicant admit that he or she receives some kind of financial support from elsewhere.

During the reapplication period, a lot if questionnaires were asked where applicants had to choose, but it looks as if most of them did not know the implications of their choices.

Already SASSA has explained what “Self Exclusionary Response Found” mean which you cam check in the link below.

SASSA Explains Self Exclusionary Response Found Decline Status

How then do you Appeal Self Exclusionary Response Found Decline Status

For now the only way to appeal is use the new appeal website launched by SASSA and DSD for declined applicants to lodge complaints.

But before you go ahead to appeal, the main reason for the decline is a question that the applicant has admitted to be true that he or she is receiving some form of sustenance from families or friends or living in government buildings.

So there is a need to change that answer to the question, so that the application can be given a fresh start of consideration for approval.

During the SASSA press conference that was streamed live on their official Facebook page, they indicated that such applicants should be able to provide correct answers to those questions.

They made it clear that, in the coming days, they will make provisions for that so that affected applicants will have the chance to choose the correct answers.

As we wait for that to happen, we can go ahead to appeal if we strongly believe that, the decision to decline application is null, void and unfounded.
