SASSA has announced a R10 boost to all social grants starting November 2025. This change comes from the 2025/26 national budget plan. It’s part of the first round of increases that will help people who get these grants. The government made this decision to support people who are struggling with rising prices. They know that many South Africans need extra help to deal with the higher cost of living. This small increase aims to make daily life a bit easier for those who depend on social grants.

Understanding the Impact of the R10 Monthly Increase
SASSA has increased social grants by R10. Some South Africans think this amount is too small compared to inflation. However SASSA says this change shows the government cares about helping people in need. The small increase helps poor people get by even with tight budgets. SASSA might give more money later if the economy improves and they get more funding. They promised that everyone will get their grants on time in November and their payment systems are ready to go.
Essential Steps Every Beneficiary Should Take Now
SASSA tells all people who get grants to look at their payment details. They should also make sure their bank information is correct in the SASSA system. People who get their money straight to their bank accounts will see the new payment amount on their usual payment date.
