The simple act of throwing away your grant receipt or statement can mean funeral cover premium deductions being made from your Sassa grant for a policy you never wanted or needed.
Evashnee Naidu from social justice organisation the Black Sash has warned social grant beneficiaries to be careful when handling their grant documents and cautioned them against signing documents they do not understand.
The Black Sash has helped several beneficiaries who have been tricked into signing up for funeral policies they did not need.
