The person should take a letter from you and/or a doctor’s note saying why you cannot visit the office. SASSA will refer the child for a state medical officer’s assessment before the application is made. Complete an application form in the presence of the SASSA officer (note that only you as the applicant or a SASSA official can complete the application form). You will be given a receipt. Keep it as proof that you applied.
