Can Anyone Claim Access to a Beneficiary’s Grant Money?
All your grant money must be paid to you in full. Deductions can only be made from your grant money if the law believes it is in your best interests. The only
lawful deduction which can be made is for a funeral policy, if you have agreed to have this deducted from the grant.
No deductions can be made for moneylenders and creditors, who may also not enter the premises or be within 100 metres of where grants are paid. Moneylenders and creditors may also not hold your ID book or card and you may not cede your grant to another person.
