In South Africa, the Social Relief of Distress (SRD) Grant is available to individuals who are in dire need of temporary financial assistance, regardless of their age. This means that if you are over 60 years old and you meet the eligibility criteria for the SRD Grant, you can apply for the grant.
However, it's important to note that there are certain government programs in South Africa that are specifically designed to provide financial assistance to older adults, such as the Older Persons Grant and the Disability Grant. If you are over 60 years old and you are looking for financial assistance, you may want to consider applying for these programs in addition to the SRD Grant.
