The value of the Social Relief of Distress Grant must be equal to, in the case of:

• A single person: an amount not more than the maximum amount payable per month in respect of an older person’s grant
• A married person: where both spouses live together, an amount not more than the amount payable per month for each adult
• A child: an amount not more than the maximum of the type of child support grant applied for

If you are not eligible for a grant, the amount would be at the discretion of SASSA but it should not be less than the amount of the Child Support Grant.
