South African Veterans · Source-linked screening / 2026

Know what may apply. Know your next step.

Explore an evidence-linked pension formula, the precise categories extended to qualifying dependants, burial notification, GPAA forms and dated official/news updates. The algorithm is held in a versioned, reviewed backend ruleset—not buried in page code.

Important: This is screening, not an award or a claim submission. GPAA and DMV decide recognition, means, dependency, pension interaction and final amounts. No applicant or health records are saved on our servers; scenario inputs are transmitted only for immediate calculation. The SASSA war-veterans grant is a different programme. Rules are labelled with effective dates and source clauses.
