As one of the most important grants for individuals unable to work due to disability, the December cycle is especially crucial with festive-season expenses rising. Beneficiaries are now encouraged to check their accounts and verify their deposits on 6 December, the confirmed payment day for the Disability Grant.

Why the Verification Date Matters
SASSA urges beneficiaries to verify their payments on 6 December to avoid confusion caused by delayed bank processing times, network issues, or accessibility challenges at pay points. Verifying early ensures that beneficiaries can immediately report missing payments, incorrect amounts, or banking errors. It also provides better financial planning, especially for households fully dependent on the disability grant.
