The government is asking the Supreme Court of Appeal to overturn a High Court ruling that ordered easier access to the R370 Social Relief of Distress (SRD) grant. The High Court previously found that some of the rules used to decide who qualifies for the grant unfairly excluded millions of people.
The case was brought by the Institute for Economic Justice and #PayTheGrants, with legal representation from SERI. The appeal will determine whether the government must change the rules to allow more people who need the grant to qualify.
