Let’s get started:

What is the Sassa Appeal process?

Below are the steps to follow if you disagree with the decision made by SASSA on your SRD application, you have the right to appeal to the Independent Tribunal for Social Assistance Appeals (ITSAA). 

  1. Visit the SASSA Appeals page.
  2. Enter your South African ID number and the phone number used during the application.
  3. You’ll receive a PIN on your registered phone number. Enter this PIN to proceed.
  4. Follow the prompts and select the month for appeal.
  5. Select a reason to appeal a declined SASSA application.
  6. Click “Submit” and look out for the confirmation message on the page that your application was submitted successfully.

An appeal application needs to be lodged about each month where a person is rejected by SASSA, if in disagreement with the decision. The Independent Tribunal will inform you of the outcome of your appeal electronically, within 60 – 90 days from the lodging of the appeal.

Recommended timely Action and Waiting Period

To ensure your appeal is considered, follow these guidelines:

  • File your appeal within 30 days of the initial denial.
  • Be aware that it may take up to 90 days for a decision on your appeal.
  • Many applicants have had their appeals approved, resulting in payment.

Applying for Monthly Reconsideration

If your application is declined for multiple months, you need to apply for reconsideration each month. SASSA emphasizes that applicants who have already submitted reconsideration applications should continue to do so for subsequent months if they are declined.
