Disability Grant Payment Not Received for February 2026
SASSA prioritises the Disability Grant because beneficiaries have disabilities and typically receive their monthly payments on time without issues. If your grant is not received, you can call the SASSA helpline for assistance. At the time of application, SASSA provides local office contact numbers to report any grant-related issues. You can use your SASSA local office contact number to directly resolve the payment issue and receive your grant, even if it is paid late.
SASSA Disability Grant
People with disabilities and physical limitations are supported by the South African government through the SASSA social grants program. Caregivers can apply for the SASSA Disability Grant for a disabled adult aged 18 to 59 who has a physical or mental condition that prevents them from earning an income through active employment. The Disability Grant is linked to the duration of the disability and is verified through a medical report and assessment by a state-appointed doctor to ensure continuous support.
Currently, SASSA offers two sub-types of the Disability Grant, based on the severity and duration of the applicant’s disability.
Temporary Disability
A medical condition expected to last between 6 and 12 months is classified as a temporary disability. To support an eligible person, SASSA will provide monthly payments for up to one year. Once this period ends, a reassessment is required to determine whether support should continue.
Permanent Disability
A permanent disability includes lifelong conditions such as birth-related disabilities (handicapped) or injuries expected to last longer than a year. For these individuals, SASSA provides ongoing monthly payments for more than two years, and reassessment is required during the annual review process.
Note: For a child under 18 with a disability, the primary caregiver or parent should apply for the SASSA Care Dependency Grant.

You will need to submit the following documents to apply for disability grant.
- South African Identity Document (ID)
- Marriage certificate, or affidavit if you have never been married
- Three-month recent medical report from a doctor
- Proof of income, dividends, or private pension (if applicable).
- Proof of assets (if applicable).
- Bank statements for the past three months

Processing Time for Disability Grant Application
SASSA processes your Disability Grant application within three months. Your personal and medical details are verified through government databases and validated before approval. Once your application is reviewed, you will start receiving your SASSA payments, backdated from the day you applied.
When Will Your SASSA Disability Grant Payments Start
Your Disability Grant payments will start the month after your application is approved. For delayed approval, your payments will be backdated to the date you originally applied. SASSA officially sends an SMS to your registered cellphone number confirming your Caregiver Grant approval and the date of your first month’s payment.
Payment Methods for Disability Grant Recipients
You can receive your Disability Grant through the following SASSA payment methods.
- Collect your cash payment at recognized retail stores like Pick n Pay and Checkers on your scheduled payment day.
- Direct deposit of your grant directly into your bank account, including Postbank, Capitec, or any other bank.
- SASSA payments can be made to an institution, such as a health care facility for people with disabilities, if not funded by the state.
What is the Amount of SASSA Disability Grant Payment
Eligible recipients receive a monthly Disability Grant of R2,320 as of February 2026. Like any other social grant, the disability grant is subject to an increase each year to help recipients keep up with rising living costs due to the effects of inflation.
If you need full-time care from someone (a caregiver), you may also qualify for the Grant-in-Aid, which adds an extra R560 per month to your Disability Grant.
How to Update Your Disability Grant Application
Life circumstances change, and when they do, your SASSA Disability Grant details must reflect your current situation. If your address is updated, your marital status changes, or your medical condition is reviewed, you need to report this to SASSA. Updating your application for Disability Grant cannot be done online. A visit to your nearest SASSA office is required so officials can verify your information and review your medical assessment.
What to Do if Your Disability Grant Application Is Not Approved
If your application is denied, SASSA will notify you in writing, explaining the reasons. You have the right to submit your SASSA appeal against this decision. Your appeal will be reviewed by the Minister of Social Development within 90 days of receiving the rejection notice.
You can contact the SASSA WhatsApp 082 046 8553 and also communicate via email at grantenquiries@sassa.gov.za for further assistance.
Contact SASSA for Disability Grant Enquiries
For assistance with your Disability Grant, you can contact SASSA by dialing the official helpline 0800 60 10 11. Your call will connect you to an on-duty representative who can assist with any issues related to your Disability Grant. Keep your Application ID and South African ID document ready for verification.

Right so this is my second attempt messaging SASSA, I do hope I receive an answer. I have attempted numerous times to book my Medical Assessment, only to be notified that I cannot book one as I am already benefitting from a grant. True but to my understanding I should be renewing my Disability Grant as it receive it on a 12month basis. I am furthermore not at any means to be to call the SASSA offices nor be taking expensive transport to get to the SASSA offices to sort out my matter. I have even reached out to SASSA via email but now many days down I have still not gotten any response from SASSA regarding my matter. I want to know what to do?
