The SASSA care dependency grant supports a qualifying caregiver responsible for a child who requires permanent care or support because of a disability or condition. The current SASSA rules determine eligibility, medical evidence and financial requirements.
Eligibility and assessment
Applicants should review the current age, caregiver, residence, medical and means-test conditions. The child may need an assessment by an approved medical professional or through the process specified by SASSA.
Documents to prepare
Gather identity documents, proof of the child’s birth and care arrangement, medical reports, household information and payment details requested by SASSA. Keep copies of all submissions.
