SASSA (South African Social Security Agency) is a government agency that provides financial assistance to eligible South African citizens in need of social grants. One of the social grants offered by SASSA is the R650 grant, which is known as the Disability Grant.

• The SASSA 650 Disability Grant is a monthly financial grant paid to eligible people who are unable to work due to a permanent disability. To be eligible for this grant, you must be between the ages of 18 and 59, be a South African citizen or permanent resident, and have a medical condition that prevents you from working for at least 6 months. You must also be assessed by a medical doctor appointed by SASSA to determine your eligibility for the grant.
• The grant amount of R650 per month is meant to help cover the basic needs of the disabled individual, such as food, clothing, and transportation. In addition to the monthly grant, SASSA also offers a once-off grant of R7,040 for people who require assistive devices, such as wheelchairs, crutches, or hearing aids.
• To apply for the SASSA 650 Disability Grant, you must visit your nearest SASSA office and fill out an application form. You will need to provide your ID document, a medical report from a doctor, and any other relevant supporting documents.
• Once your application is received, SASSA will assess your eligibility for the grant. This may involve a home visit or an appointment with a SASSA medical doctor. If you are found eligible, you will receive a letter notifying you of the decision and the amount of your grant.
• The SASSA 650 Disability Grant is paid monthly on the first day of each month. Payments are made electronically, either into your bank account or through a SASSA card that you can use at participating retailers.
• If you have any questions or concerns about your SASSA 650 Disability Grant, you can contact your nearest SASSA office or call the SASSA toll-free helpline at 0800 60 10 11. SASSA also has a website where you can find more information about their various social grants and services.
