Why are the education benefits taking so long to be approved?

Why is it taking so long for my education benefits to be approved? I can't start school until Post 9/11 education benefits does what they need to. I have had to postpone 3 times now.

Did you reach out to the VA and ask?

You should be able to go here and sign in or create an account and it will tell you the status of your benefits.

I would have contacted someone the first time I had to postpone but that's me.

Post-9/11 GI Bill Statement of Benefits | Veterans Affairs

If you were awarded Post-9/11 GI Bill education benefits, your GI Bill Statement of Benefits will show you how much of your benefits you’ve used and how much you have left to use for your education or training. These education benefits can help cover some or all of the costs for school or training.
