Millions of South Africans rely on SASSA’s disability grants as a vital source of income — and knowing exactly when and how much is coming makes all the difference.
For August 2025, here’s what you need to know:
- Disability Grants will be paid on Friday, 2 August 2025.
- The current grant amount for people with disabilities is R2,180 per month.
- If you receive multiple grants in your household, remember that older persons’ grants are paid on Thursday, 1 August, and all other social grants follow on Monday, 5 August.

SASSA urges beneficiaries to withdraw their funds when needed — there’s no need to rush on payment day as the money stays in your account until you’re ready.
“Every disability grant makes a real difference,” says an advocacy group. “But more awareness and accessible payment processes are needed to ensure people living with disabilities aren’t left out.”
For many households, this small but steady payment covers basics like transport to clinics, assistive devices, or vital household costs.
