SRD R370 Grant Payment Dates
Unlike the permanent grants, the Social Relief of Distress (SRD) R370 grant payments are not on a fixed schedule. They are processed in batches during the latter half of the month once all verifications are complete.
Sources indicate that SRD payments for October 2025 will be processed between October 20-31. However, the exact date you receive your payment depends on when your application status is approved. To confirm your specific payout, you must check your status online.
