What can I do when my application is declined?
The client can apply for reconsideration via the Social Development Independent Tribunal Website at this link https://srd.dsd.gov.za/appeals should the client wish to dispute the outcome. You can appeal every month as applications are reviewed on a monthly basis. Each rejection is for that particular month, you may still appeal for the upcoming month if declined again. You only have 90 days to appeal from the day your decline status appears on your application.
