Transport Relief as part of the Social Relief of Distress Grant

There is also a special form of relief for transport money. This relief is given once only and must be recommended by the social worker for people who:

  • Have been told by their doctor or clinic that they need special medical treatment, but they cannot afford the transport to get to the place where they will be treated
  • Have been promised a job but do not have enough money to pay for transport to reach the place of employment

What do you need in order to apply for relief?

  • A document from the doctor which explains the treatment needed and where it is available
  • A letter from a prospective employer confirming date and place of employment in order to substantiate the application
