CAPE TOWN - Social Security Agency Sassa on Friday said measures have been put in place to expedite temporary disability grant re-applications.
Around 53,000 beneficiaries in the Western Cape could not receive their grant payments this month, as temporary disability grants lapsed at the end of December.
Following a doctor's recommendation, recipients now have to reapply.
SASSA said there was no way grant reapplications could be finalised last year, as the 2020 payment cycle was still active.
