Some Important Information From Comments
Comments:
1. When the SRD grant was introduced, I was employed in 2020 then I received the SASSA employee relief fund in August of 2020 and my employment was also terminated. Last year January, when we were told to re-apply for SRD grant, I tried to apply ever since then I have been unable to apply as when I enter my information the response say ‘invalid name and Surname’. I don’t understand what is the problem could be as I am no longer working its almost 2 years now.
Error / Problem:
1. I have updated my Surname online. It still says “invalid” even after update
2. I have been trying to change my name but, it says invalid name.
Information:
Most of the commenters commented that, they are all applied for Surname Change but their application got decline due to “Identity Verification Failed”.
