A social worker will ask you questions about your financial situation, your work, your child or children (if you are applying for one of child grants), and your disability (if you are applying for a Disability Grant). You might also need to have your fingerprints taken. The social worker will only give your answers to the Welfare Office – he or she will not tell other people your answers.  The social worker or welfare officer will then help you fill in an application form. If you are too sick or weak to visit the Welfare Office yourself, a family member or friend can fill in the application form for you. The Welfare Office will give you a receipt after you have completed the application form. Do not lose this receipt. It is proof that you have applied for a grant.
