Zulu also spelt out the process for the re-assessment of the rejected applications for the special relief of distress grant, popularly known as Unemployed Grant.
The notice was published in the government gazette last Thursday in a move to amend directions previously released in recent months. Zulu also said the validity of medical reports for the purposes of an application for a disability grant in the period prior to the lockdown were extended from three months to six months from the date of assessment.
Zulu said when an applicant did not qualify for the benefit, Sassa should give the reasons why the applicant did not qualify and inform them of the right to request the Sassa to re-assess its decision.
