What the SRD Grant Is (and Isn’t)
The SRD or R370 Grant is a temporary support provided to unemployed people under certain conditions. The Social Relief of Distress Grant differs from Child Support Grant, Disability Grant, and Older Persons Grant.
💰 R370 per month (approved)AllSASSA is an unverified site and does not have any authority to grant/revoke SRD benefits.
Typical SRD Eligibility Checks
- •18 to 59 years approx. (verify current range)
- •Unemployed / under the income level as defined by the system
- •A lack of other social grants or UIF that would make you ineligible
- •Proper means of identification and communication; confirmed bank account
Problems with bank validation is yet another source of delays. In case you have some problems with your bank details, get them sorted out using SRD/SASSA channels; refer to changing bank details for permanent grants (there might be some difference in SRD’s case).
