Which grant did you apply for?
SRD
Social Relief of Distress
Have the identity and cellphone details used for your application ready. Enter them only on the official SRD website, then choose its application-status service.
The official site opens in this tab. Use Back to return to these explanations.
Other social grants
Pension, disability and child-related grants
Use the SASSA Services Portal for the services it lists. For progress on an application that is not available there, contact SASSA with your application receipt ready.
Choose an explanation below. These general explanations do not retrieve or change your personal result.
Pending
The assessment for that month has not been completed. Check again through the official service. A pending result does not establish a payment date.
Approved, with a payday
The month has been approved. Read the date on your own official record and follow its payment instructions.
Approved, but no payday or payment
Approval and payment are separate steps. Check the official record. SASSA’s 2026 booklet directs approved-but-unpaid SRD applicants to request the official identity-verification link. Follow the official instructions; never send a PIN or OTP to TPR.
Declined
Read the recorded reason for the affected month. If you dispute it, use the appeal link on the official SRD website. The official guidance requires an appeal for each declined month.
Use the update options on the official SRD website. SASSA’s current booklet describes identity verification for cellphone changes. Keep any verification code private.
If the official service is unavailable
Try again later or contact 0800 60 10 11. An unavailable website does not tell you whether a grant was approved or declined.
