How to Check Your SASSA Appeal Status for May 2025
The South African Social Security Agency (SASSA) distributes social grants to those applying for Child Support, Foster Child, Disability, Care Dependency, Disability, War Veterans, and Older Persons grants based on eligibility criteria.
If your SASSA online application was rejected and you’ve submitted your appeal, it will be reviewed by the Department of Social Development (DSD).
This appeal process gives you a chance to explain why the rejection may have been incorrect. If your reason is valid, your grant application will be reconsidered by SASSA and approved for monthly payments.

Importance of a SASSA Appeal for Grant Reconsideration
Appealing a SASSA decision gives applicants a fair second chance to correct and verify their personal and financial information for grant eligibility. It’s especially crucial for those who may have failed the means test or experienced a change in circumstances.
A SASSA grant appeal is a formal request for the Department of Social Development (DSD) to review and potentially reverse the SASSA decision to reject or suspend your social grant application. The South African government gives every applicant the right to appeal if they believe the decision was incorrect, whether appealing for the SRD R370 grant or any other type of SASSA social grant.
When your appeal is successful, the SASSA reconsideration process will approve your application and re-evaluate your eligibility. This will ensure that new applicants and existing beneficiaries with a declined grant status, such as for the May 2025 payments, receive a fair outcome based on updated or corrected information.
Appeal Deadline: May 2025 appeals must be lodged within 30 days, but no later than 90 days from the date of your original SASSA decision.
