Have you been declined for alternative income source Identified as the reason for the decline? then no worries, because in this article you will see how to appeal Alternative Income Source Identified SASSA R350 Grant Status.
Last year, it happened and SASSA had to reverse most of these issues and approved them over public outcry.
As SASSA has already indicated, applicants who have been declined for whatever reason have the right to appeal.
Last year, applicants had to send an appeal application to a certain email address but this time around, they have simplified the process by integrating the appeal application as a reconsideration module on their website.
MAIN REASON WHY SASSA DECLINE SRD R350 APPLICANTS FOR ALTERNATIVE INCOME SOURCE IDENTIFIED
According to SASSA, an applicant is considered to have an alternative income source if the applicant has been receiving at least R595 per month in his or her bank account. Automatically, SASSA’s system assumes that you are receiving income regardless of the owner of the cash inflows.
It sounds very weird and pathetic though but thus what SASSA claims to be used to know people’s income source.
Aggrieved applicants are just a button away to apply for reconsideration and must be done within 30 days from the date of the decline.
