6. Applicant Wants to Apply for a Disability Grant and Child Support Grant but Does Not Have the Correct Documents

Ravi wants to apply for a Disability Grant and Child Support Grant for his children. Unfortunately he does not have an identity document and none of his children have birth certificates although he has applied for these. On this basis he was refused grants by SASSA.

SASSA should have told Ravi that he was entitled to receive a Social Relief of Distress Grant while he was waiting for his documents to be processed.
