SASSA R370 Appeal: 5 Mistakes to Avoid When Filling Out the Submission Form:
If your SASSA R370 grant application was rejected, you have the right to appeal. However, making mistakes during the appeal process can cause delays or even another rejection. Here are five things you should NEVER do when submitting your appeal.
1. Entering Incorrect Personal Information
Make sure you double-check your ID number, name, and contact details before submitting. Even a small mistake, like a missing digit or spelling error, can lead to automatic rejection.
2. Using an Inactive or Incorrect Phone Number
SASSA sends an OTP (One-Time Pin) to verify your appeal. If your phone number is wrong or inactive, you won’t receive the OTP, and your appeal won’t be processed. Update your number if needed before submitting your appeal.
3. Submitting Multiple Appeals for the Same Month
Some applicants spam multiple appeals, thinking it will speed up the process. This actually slows things down and may cause confusion in the system. Only submit one appeal per declined month.
4. Giving False or Incomplete Information
Always be honest when filling out your appeal. If SASSA finds out you provided false details, you could be permanently disqualified from receiving grants. Also, ensure you complete every required field—leaving sections blank may lead to automatic rejection.
5. Not Checking the Appeal Status Regularly
After submitting your appeal, don’t just wait forever. Check your appeal status regularly on the SASSA website (https://srd.sassa.gov.za) to see if any action is needed from your side. If approved, your grant payment will be scheduled soon.
Final Tip
If your appeal gets rejected again, find out the exact reason and correct the issue before submitting another appeal. Avoid these mistakes, and you’ll have a better chance of getting your SASSA R370 grant approved!
