Beneficiaries are set to receive two grant adjustments in 2025 to better track inflation, a move framed as easing pressure on vulnerable households through more responsive support.
According to the report, the October update lists new amounts of R2,240 for the Older Persons Grant, R2,210 for the Disability Grant and R560 for the Child Support Grant, with payments scheduled on 4–6 October 2025. These categories are highlighted as priority groups for the increases.
No new application is required: existing recipients are due the revised amounts automatically on their normal pay dates. The article advises beneficiaries to check updated values via the Sassa portal and to contact support channels if assistance is needed.
