Visit the official SRD portal and enter your South African ID number and the phone number you used in your application. The system will show your current application status.
If it says “Approved,” your SRD grant is reinstated. If it shows “Declined” or “Pending,” your application may still be under review or not eligible. Always use the official SRD website for updates and avoid third-party platforms.

If your SASSA reinstatement status shows “Declined,” don’t worry. You still have a chance to appeal the decision. The Department of Social Development (DSD) handles all appeals for the SRD R370 grant. To start the appeal process, go to srd.sassa.gov.za/appeals.
Follow these steps:
- Visit the appeal page.

Make sure to appeal within 30 days of the declined status. If you wait too long, your appeal may be rejected automatically. You need to appeal for each declined month separately.
Check the status of your appeal regularly on the same portal. If your appeal is approved, SASSA will reinstate your grant and pay you the missed amount.
