Many of these are education benefits and a Servicemember is eligible, but for one reason or another they do not apply or avail themselves of the opportunity. This can be for several different reasons, there are a number of reasons that people who are veterans hesitate to apply or try to use different benefits that are available to them. Sometimes a veteran will suffer a lack of confidence, especially if it’s been a number of years since they have been in school. This and a number of other reasons often unnecessarily prevent a Veteran from taking full advantage of different lucrative opportunities.
