After you have been through DHA eHome, make an appointment with SASSA online. And bring the following documents with you:
Note that someone else can apply on your behalf if you’re unable to visit a SASSA branch office personally. You will need a doctor’s note explaining why and have all of the above signed and certified by a commissioner of oaths.
