The South African Social Security Agency (Sassa) distributes Social Relief of Distress (SRD) grants to millions of financially disadvantaged people in South Africa.
Several circumstances could lead to an R370 grant applicant no longer wanting an SRD grant payment. This includes whether they no longer require the grant or meet the eligibility criteria for the SRD grant.
Should people not require the grant anymore, they can cancel their R370 grant application.
