SASSA beneficiaries are urged to apply for Grant-in-Aid
“An older person, war veteran, or disability grant recipient who is incapacitated at home and unable to go to our SASSA office may, with the help of a family member or caregiver, request a home visit from SASSA and obtain a medical assessment form.
“After completion of this by the beneficiary, SASSA will send a doctor to conduct an assessment at the beneficiary’s home. This will confirm if the beneficiary qualifies for the Grant-in-Aid,” said Nandi Mosia, the SASSA-Gauteng spokesperson.
