        1. Hi my grant expires January 2024 and I need to book a medical assessment appointment online, but the page, to make the booking, doesn’t come up. Can you please advice? Thank you

  21. 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?
