As part of their improvement, the social agency might ask you for personal documents.
Documents can be part of grant assessment, re-assessment, or first-time grant application.

Do you have the right documents?
Here’s what SASSA might ask you for.

Sometimes the agency requests important documents from customers.
It can be necessary when applying for your grant, or re-applying for one. Rejected grants must be re-assessed, and first-time grants must be assessed.
If you don’t have the right documents, you might have to make several trips to an office. Getting it right the first time saves time.
SASSA: THESE ARE THE DOCUMENTS YOU’LL NEED
The first document SASSA needs is your Identity Document (ID). It comes in the form of an ID Book (or Card) that tells them who you are.

Social Security might also ask for Proof of Income documents. This verifies your income – or how much you earn. A payslip or bank statement can be used.
A Proof of Address might also be relevant, which states your residential address.
