How We Research & Verify

This site exists because grant information is scattered, confusing, and frequently wrong online. Our process for every guide:

• Facts are checked against official sources where available — sassa.gov.za, srd.sassa.gov.za, srd-appeals.dsd.gov.za, services.sassa.gov.za, gov.za, and treasury.gov.za — and the sources are listed on the relevant page.
• Grant amounts, income thresholds, and effective dates are drawn from a single canonical facts table so the same figure is never stated differently across two pages.
• Each page records its last-updated date, and guides are reviewed when SASSA announces changes to amounts, thresholds, or processes.
• Where a claim cannot be confirmed against an official source, the page says so instead of guessing.
• Decline-reason and status guides describe SASSA's published decline codes and processing rules, without presenting unconfirmed statistics.
