“SRD payment amount September 2025”
As of September 2025, the Social Relief of Distress (SRD) grant in South Africa remains at R370 per month. This amount has been in place since April 2024, when it was increased from R350 to R370 to help beneficiaries cope with rising living costs. (applysassa.co.za)
In March 2025, Finance Minister Enoch Godongwana announced that the SRD grant would be extended until March 2026, with an allocation of R35.2 billion to sustain the program. (enca.com) However, despite discussions about potential increases, the grant amount has not changed and remains at R370 per month.
It’s important to note that while the SRD grant continues at R370, other social grants have seen increases. For instance, the Old Age Grant, Disability Grant, and Care Dependency Grant have been increased by R130 per month, bringing them to R2,315. (businesstech.co.za)
