SRD Appeal for SASSA R370 Grant Application Declined for May 2025
If your SASSA status check shows that your R370 SRD grant has been declined for May 2025, you have the right to lodge an SRD appeal. The Independent Tribunal for Social Assistance Appeals (ITSAA) will review your case, giving you the chance to continue receiving the grant funds you rightfully deserve as an eligible beneficiary of the Social Relief of Distress (SRD) program.
SRD Appeal for SASSA R370 Grant Application Declined for May 2025

With millions of beneficiaries, the South African Social Security Agency (SASSA) offers monthly financial assistance through various social grants, including the SRD grant, which provides R370 to unemployed individuals who do not receive any other form of government income support.
SASSA conducts a monthly verification process to check all SRD applications. Even if you were previously approved, your application for May 2025 could be declined due to changes in your personal or financial information. That’s why it’s critical to appeal immediately once your SRD status reflects a decline.
If your circumstances have changed, SASSA urges beneficiaries to update their personal details in reapplication, helping to prevent R370 payment declines or suspended grants. SASSA has the authority to reject applications that fail to meet the eligibility criteria.
Important: Make sure your personal details, banking information, and income sources are accurate for your appeal reconsideration. SASSA reviews each appeal on an individual basis, and most decisions are finalized within 30 to 90 days.
