How do factors like occupation, age, and previous benefit experiences influence the likelihood of claiming social benefits?

The unclaimed benefits highlight systemic issues in Dutch benefit application. Complexity, administrative burdens, and insufficient digital/language skills deter many eligible citizens, especially self-employed individuals (25% did not claim rental subsidies). Past negative experiences, like benefit clawbacks, further erode trust and discourage applications.
