The Care Dependency Grant will be stopped in any of the following situations:

• If the parents, care-givers or foster parents die
• If the child dies
• If the child is admitted into a wholly funded state institution when the child turns 18 years (after this the child can apply for a disability grant)

The grant will be reviewed from time to time to check changes in the child’s circumstances.

The amount you get depends on your income. The amount also changes each year with the annual government budget. The amount of the grant from 1st April 2015 is R1 410 for every child who qualifies.
