Many approved applicants of the R350 SRD grant have experienced delays in receiving their grant payments due to various reasons, here’s how you can dodge delayed R350 grant payments.
The South African Social Security Agency (Sassa) has stated that incorrect banking details provided by beneficiaries of the R350 Social Relief of Distress (SRD) grant may cause delays in the payment of their approved R350 grant.
They have advised beneficiaries to ensure that they provide the correct banking details when submitting their application for the SRD grant in order to dodge delayed payments.
It is also said that payment of the R350 grant through a bank account is faster and easier and beneficiaries are able to withdraw their grant payment at any ATM.
