So you submitted your R350 grant application and when you tracked your application, you found that you were declined. You then saw that it was because of 'age outside range', well here's what that means.
If you SRD status was 'age outside range', it means that you don't qualify for the grant because you are not meeting the age requirement which is between 18 and 59 years old. You were either younger than 18 or older than 59.
Should you be over the age of 59, you can then apply for SASSA's Older Persons' Grant which sees you get R1890 per month. Click here for more information on SASSA's Older Persons' Grant.
What you should do about your declined R350 grant
Should you be declined and find that the reason given does not ring true for you, you are encouraged to submit a R350 grant appeal.
The appeal means that SASSA will have to consider your application again. However, it's important to remember that applicants only have 30 days after their SRD grant status is rejected to submit a R350 grant appeal.
