Your SRD status tells you whether SASSA has approved the R370 Social Relief of Distress grant for a particular month, and when it will be paid. SASSA assesses every month separately, so you can be approved for one month and declined for the next. It is worth checking once a month, after the middle of the month.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
