If your SRD grant was disqualified or denied in 2025, you can reapply and explain the reason for your application decision. The reapplication process is straightforward, and following these steps helps ensure your request is reviewed promptly by SASSA.
Step 1: Review Your Denial or Reapplication Reason

Step 3: Submit a SASSA Appeal

Step 4: Check Your Application or Appeal Status
