SASSA Grant-in-AD

Do you need SASSA Payment to help with your daily needs? The  Grant-in-Aid might be just what you need! This program in South Africa helps people who face challenges, like older adults, those with disabilities, or caregivers. You might be asking, “Do I qualify for this grant?“ or “How can I apply?“ Let’s look at what this type of SASSA grant is and how it can support you or someone you care about.

Who Can Get Grant-in-Aid?

You might be wondering, “Am I eligible for the Grant-in-Aid?“ Here’s how to find out:

1. You need to be a South African citizen or permanent resident.
   This means you must have a valid ID.
2. You should already receive a social grant from SASSA.
   This could be an old age pension, disability grant, or care dependency grant.
3. You need to show you have extra needs.
   This might be because of health problems or if you take care of someone who is ill or disabled.

If you can answer “yes” to these questions, you might qualify!
