How To Cancel SASSA SRD Grant Without Phone Number

The Special Relief of Distress (SRD) grant, provided by the South African Social Security Agency (SASSA), has been a vital support system for many individuals facing financial difficulties.

However, circumstances may change, and an individual may need to cancel their SRD grant.

Cancellation Reasons and Requirements

Before proceeding with the cancellation process, it is essential to understand the reasons for cancellation and the required documentation. SASSA allows grant beneficiaries to cancel their grants for various reasons, including:

  • Death of the beneficiary
  • Incorrect information provided during the application process

To cancel the SRD grant, beneficiaries will need to provide their South African Identity Document (ID) and, if applicable, proof of income or employment.
