Some Important Information From Comments

Error / Problem:
1. SASSA still haven’t paid two months money they owe me from last year 2021 for April and August. When I go check it shows that, the funds ain’t a available but my status shows approved with date so, what am I to do and will I receive the outstanding balance?

2. l applied for the SRD grant and it was approved for the last three months but I did not receive my money which was supposed to be in my account. I have given my account details when I applied. So I would like to know, what is happening?

3. I have not been employed since 2018 and I have tried applying for SRD but declines always I reapplied and all my months are on pending for reconciliation for the whole of 2021, 12months and it’s hard breaking to see people getting the money and I need it too.

4. My son has been approved for two months with two dates and when he got to the post office they told him that his name is not on the system. I am just wondering what’s happening he has a child he has to look after and I can’t afford to help him because I am unemployed.

Information:
Most of the commenters commented that, they are not getting their SRD grant.
