In order to establish your eligibility for a social grant based on your income and assets, SASSA will employ the “means test,” which is applicable to several social grants like child support, disability, care dependency, and social relief of distress. Your eligibility for a grant intended for persons who cannot afford to live on their own depends on the results of a means test.
Care dependency allowance
Grants for care dependence may be available to parents with handicapped children who work full-time. What total amount of funding will be distributed as part of this grant?
- R1 860 per child, per month.
How do you know if you’re eligible for the grant?
- To be eligible for the care dependency grant, the child must be under the age of 18 and permanently disabled, as determined by a medical officer. If you’re married, you and your spouse must both meet the means test’s minimum eligibility requirements. The articles below will assist you with your Sassa application.
