Some Important Information From Comments
Comments:
1. I applied for R350 grant Since last August. I never received any payments but on the system, every month it is showing that “Payment got approved”. Can I get the correct telephone number for SASSA as form of communication where is needed?
2. I have applied for SRD grant since the day its stated, but my application was declined. It says I qualify for UIF of which I don’t know about, then I called UIF offices they told me that there is no UIF so, you must apply for reconsideration. I did that, now my status says Identity verification fixed, and for other 3 months it says Pending, then now people says that the SRD grant is closed, Now I want to ask that, is it going to be closed without us getting paid?
3. Till Previous year, I was receiving my money via post office. Now I have changed to the bank but till my money is in pending. Nothing I have received since August, I want to change to the post office. Please help.
4. People ask the question what happened to the cash send option progress? But no answer why? Has anybody ever got their payment via cash send? Its all about the post office (or) the banks we hear about? Why put a cash send option when people still have to wait so long?
5. I applied for August and it said identity verification failed and I wanted to fix whatever the problem was but it could not let me fix it kept saying application exists. So I cancelled August and September application and I reapplied for October and it kept saying pending until its cancelled. So, now November says pending also, Please assist me in how to reinstate my cancelled application and how to get the one I applied for.
Error / Problem:
The link which is provided for status tracking in the website is not working. I have been trying to check my status but it keeps on saying failed.
Information:
Most of the commenters commented that, their applications got declined because of UIF (Source of Income) and some applicants got approved but not received the grant amount
