Step 3: Review and Outcome

After you have submitted your appeal, the Independent Tribunal will review your case and provide an outcome within 60 to 90 days. It’s important to note that the tribunal’s ruling only applies to the specific month for which the appeal is filed. Therefore, it’s advisable to submit your appeal as soon as you receive the rejection notification from SASSA.

The Independent Tribunal will carefully verify and revalidate various SASSA databases used in evaluating appeal applications, including bank databases that check for alternative financial support or income.

Remember, the decision made by the Independent Tribunal is final, and no further internal appeals are allowed. However, in accordance with the Promotion of Administrative Justice Act of 2000, you have 180 days from the tribunal’s judgment to file an appeal for judicial review with the High Court.

Step 4: Additional Assistance

If you need additional assistance during the appeal process, you can contact the Department of Social Development Independent Tribunal for Social Assistance Appeals (ITSAA) at 0123127727 or send an email to [email protected].

Conclusion

By following these steps and providing the necessary information, you can submit your SASSA R350 appeal and have your case reviewed by the Independent Tribunal. Stay proactive and take action to resolve any issues with your grant application.
