In this way it makes it different to the Social Relief of Distress (SRD) Grant which nearly anyone can apply for if required. SASSA Grant-in-Aid is provided additionally to the neediest grant recipients, says SASSA Grant Status Check.

The government stipend is aimed at existing grant holders who require full-time care at home and who need the extra resources to hire someone to provide full-time care services. SASSA Grant-in-Aid currently pays out R510 per month. And while this was not increased in October 2023 with all the other grants, it is understood it should increase again on Monday 1 April 2024, most likely by R10.

To receive SASSA Grant-in-Aid you must already be a primary grant recipient as mentioned above. You must be unable to care for yourself due to mental or physical disability and require full-time care at home. This will be proven with a medical assessment from a private or government doctor stating you need full-time care. The report cannot be older than three months. You don’t qualify if you’re already receiving care in a state care facility.
