‘I gave my daughter power of attorney to fetch my grant. She has not given me the full grant amount for the last two months. I want to change procurators, what do I do.”

The beneficiary must write a letter to SASSA explaining that they want to stop the current procurator and the effective date. If the beneficiary is unable to read or write then SASSA can obtain a sworn statement to this effect. The procurator whose power of attorney has been stopped has ten days to transfer any outstanding money to the beneficiary. A new application for appointing a procurator will need to be made. Generally SASSA would review the power of attorney from time to time when they review the older person’s grant. (See Can another person fetch an applicant’s grant?)
