Has anyone been successful in transferring their post 9/11 GI Bill Educational benefits to their dependents? DH applied for the educational benefits about 45 days ago. We haven't heard. My brother applied at the end of August, he did hear and he was approved for benefits but hasn't been able to contact the right sources, apparently it gets transferred to the Dept. of the Army, to transfer them to his son. That is our goal. Has anyone been successful yet? I have heard that the VA is so far behind in doling out educational benefits that some returning GIs are losing their homes and unable to pay their rent while they are waiting.
