SASSA Grant Cancellation: How to Submit Your Application

You’ve decided to cancel your SRD grant because your financial situation has improved, and you no longer need it. That’s great news!

This process is pretty straightforward. You just need to fill out a consent form and submit it online. Once SASSA approves your R350 grant cancellation request, your monthly payments will stop.
