Overview

The ITSAA (Independent Tribunal for Social Assistance Appeals) portal is where you submit and track your SASSA SRD grant appeal. It is the only official way to appeal a decline.

How It Works

  • The ITSAA portal is the official appeals system for SASSA SRD grants.

  • You log in using your 13-digit South African ID number and the phone number on your application.

  • No password is created — the system verifies you through your ID and phone number via OTP.

  • You can submit an appeal, view its progress, and see your final decision all in one place.

  • The portal works on a normal phone browser — no app needs to be downloaded.

  • Keep your appeal reference number after each submission to track progress.
