The Department of Social Development has asked such ones to ask NSFAS to officially delete their account information from their database to pave way for SRD R350 Grant Approvals.

Alternative Income Source Identified April 2024

• Alternative income source Identified : This term was introduced and saw many applicants being declined. What SASSA did was to check applicant’s bank account’s cash flows and if SASSA suspected that there was money coming in the bank account from time to time, it was assumed that applicants have other source of income. But later, most of these were overturned after further investigation and reconsideration. If you are declined for alternative income source Identified, please submit reconsideration application within 30 days from the date of the decline using the link https://srd.sassa.gov.za/sc19/reconsideration
