A grant-in-aid is help in the form of nursing care. This grant is given to people who are too sick to take care of themselves at home. When a person applies for a grant-in-aid, they must bring the same forms to the SASSA office as they would for a disability grant. The applicant:

• Must receive a grant for older persons, a disability grant or a war veterans grant, and require full-time attendance by another person owing to his/ her physical or mental disabilities
• Must not be cared for in an institution that receives a subsidy from the state for the care/housing of such beneficiary (See Grant-in-Aid)
