Speaking to disabled veterans in Atlanta on August 1st, 2016, President Obama proudly declared the \u201cglass half full\u201d, by saying \u201cWe have not reduced the number of homeless veterans by 47 percent.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-5487\" src=\"https:\/\/injuredvetstg.wpenginepowered.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/injured-vets.jpg\" alt=\"injured-vets\" width=\"427\" height=\"430\" \/>During this same speech, Mr. Obama noted that nearly 200,000 people leave active duty and become veterans, many of whom are wounded, both mentally and physically, due to the last 15 years of warfare in various parts of our planet. These injured veterans have become inexorably tied to what Mr. Obama referred to as a lifelong \u201ccovenant\u201d with Veterans Affairs. This covenant is one that the government is perpetually making, neglecting, forgetting and then rediscovering.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\"><b>DID THE DEPARTMENT OF VETERANS AFFAIRS ROB SOME DISABLED VETS OF THEIR GI BILL BENEFITS?<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">A recent <a href=\"http:\/\/www.disabledveterans.org\/2016\/07\/25\/agency-error-voc-rehab-veterans-robbed-gi-bill-benefits\/\">blog post by Benjamin Krause<\/a> intimates that there could be a change coming, if not already here, for disabled veterans with VA education benefits under both the GI Bill and Chapter 31 Voc Rehab. Both of these programs, GI Bill ad Voc Rehab, indicate through a decision letter that disabled veterans entitled to both may have to make some tough evaluations before using their benefits that could impact their education benefits.<br \/>\nVeterans who opt to use their Voc Rehab first could entitle them to use their GI Bill later, depending upon the choices they make. There could be an increase up to 36 months of education benefits to some veterans. This could equate to tens of thousands of dollars per eligible veteran.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"s1\"><b>VETERAN&#8217;S BENEFITS BILL SIGNED BY MASSACHUSETTS GOVERNOR CHARLIE BAKER<\/b><\/span><br \/>\nAn <a href=\"http:\/\/www.telegram.com\/article\/20160726\/NEWS\/160729776\">article posted on July 26th, 2016<\/a> by Telegram.com, details a bill called the Veterans HOME Act in the state of Massachusetts. The bill is a veteran\u2019s benefit package designed to improve their access to housing and protect veterans from discrimination.<br \/>\nThe bill will provide preference to veterans for public housing throughout the state and makes veterans a protected class in Massachusetts\u2019 anti-discrimination laws. In addition, the bill clarifies the real estate tax exemption for Gold Star families. Lastly, one of the bill\u2019s amendments will extend an excise tax exemption to veterans deployed for at least 180 days.<br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Charlie_Baker\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-medium wp-image-5493\" src=\"https:\/\/injuredvetstg.wpenginepowered.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/gov-charlie-baker-200x300.jpeg\" alt=\"gov-charlie-baker\" width=\"200\" height=\"300\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>According to the Editorial Board of the New York Times, &#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[14],"tags":[9,10,11,12,13,15],"class_list":["post-6465","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-veteran-news","tag-health","tag-va-benefits-attorney","tag-va-health","tag-veteran-benefits","tag-veteran-benefits-attorney","tag-veteran-news"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.4 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Obama Administration&#039;s Broken Promises to Homeless &amp; Injured Veterans - Disabled Veteran Benefits Attorneys<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Stay up to date on all the latest of Veteran News across the country.
