My SASSA Appeal Status Pending

If your SASSA appeal status indicates that your application has been pending for more than 30 days, you have the option to re-submit your appeal to the Department of Social Development (DSD) for reconsideration.

This gives you the chance to have SASSA review their decision and potentially change the outcome of your application.

You can also reach the SASSA call centre at 0800601011 for direct appeal.
