About the grant-in-aid
If you are living on a social grant but can’t look after yourself, you can get an additional grant to pay the person who takes full-time care of you.
How do you know if you qualify?
You must:
- already get a disability grant, war veteran’s grant or grant for older persons
- not be able to look after yourself owing to your physical or mental disability, and therefore need full-time care from someone else
- not be cared for in an institution that receives a subsidy from the government for your care or housing.
How much will you get?
You will get R460 per month.
How will your grant be paid?
The South African Social Security Agency (SASSA) will pay the grant to you through one of the following methods:
- cash at a specific pay point on a particular day
- electronic deposit into your bank or Postbank account (the bank may charge you for the service)
- an institution acting as administrator of the grant (e.g. welfare organization).
The grant will be paid together with your social grant.
If you choose to have the social grant paid directly into your bank account, you will be requested to complete a form confirming your bank account details.
Note: If you are unable to collect the money yourself, you can appoint a procurator at the SASSA office, or give someone power of attorney to collect the grant on your behalf.
