The process is quite simple, but it requires time and patience on your part. Here’s what you should do:

• Apply online at https://www.sassa.gov.za/appeal-grant/. You will be asked for identification details as well as information about why you think that your application should be reconsidered by the Social Security Appeal Board (SSAB). If there is anyone who can help with this aspect of the appeal process then they should be listed too!
• Make sure that everything is accurate because once submitted, it cannot be changed or amended later on without having another application submitted again which could cause delays for others depending upon how busy the department becomes at any given time.

What is the Grievance Management Policy (GMP)?

The Grievance Management Policy (GMP) is an online system to make complaints and appeals about the Sassa grant scheme. It was established by Safaricom, a mobile network operator in Kenya, in collaboration with the National Treasury and the Ministry of Devolution and Planning.

The GMP can be used by applicants who have not received their grants, or by those whose grants were cancelled or reduced due to error on behalf of Sassa. The process is transparent: you submit your complaint through a form online, provide evidence supporting your claim and then await feedback from officials who will inform you whether or not your appeal has been successful within 30 days.

If granted access to this program as either an applicant or beneficiary of social security benefits under any government agency (such as MCAF), there are several ways it can help save time when making queries regarding claims issues like delayed payments due to technical glitches at centers where payments are made manually rather than electronically; instances where staff members fail to complete certain steps required before issuing payments; cases where beneficiaries may have lost their bank cards needed for ATM withdrawals after receiving funds into accounts linked up with these cards etcetera.”

What is a grievance?

A grievance is a complaint about a problem. It can be about a colleague or manager, the service you receive from an organisation or even something specific to your workplace.

The easiest way to explain this is by saying that if you have an issue with something, this would be considered as a grievance. A grievance could also be in regards to money owed to someone because of something they did not want done, was done badly or did not get paid for properly.

You can make a complaint or appeal directly to the Sassa office by:

• Visiting your nearest Sassa office;

• You feel that your right to access social grants has been denied or violated.
• There is something wrong with your grant and you want it resolved.

Is there a time limit for making an appeal or a complaint?

There is no time limit for making an appeal or a complaint. You can make an appeal or a complaint at any time, and you can also submit as many appeals or complaints as you need to.
