In this article, you will learn what you can do if your SRD Status says “Referred Link Risk Mobile“. The Post Office has released the payment dates for the Social Relief of Distress (SRD) for the month of February. However, not everybody that applied for the SRD has been approved for payment.
The South African Social Security Agency (Sassa) conducts monthly verification processes to ensure that SRD grant applicants are deserving of their grant. This includes identification verification, bank account checks and checking information against certain databases.
One of the rejection messages that unsuccessful SRD grant applicants have received is ‘Referred Link Risk Mobile’.
Sassa explained that this means a fraudulent application was received from the mobile number you applied with.
