Any citizen who is earning less than R8,070 per month and R96,840 per year is eligible for a Disability grant if single. For married applicants, the income eligibility for the same grant is R16,140 per month and R193,680 per year.

Important Note: Please note that apart from the income, SASSA also verifies the assets of the applicants to ensure the transparency and credibility of the grants.

The goal of SASSA is to provide financial relief to the maximum number of citizens by following set rules and sticking to the eligibility criteria. Although all South African citizens can apply for any grant, only those who qualify for the eligibility criteria will receive the grant payment.
