Straight To The Point Incarcerated ~ Veteran Benefits & Options

<p>What if you are incarcerated and you are a veteran? How does this affect your benefits and the needs of your family?<br/><br/>In today&apos;s episode, Paul and Tyler discuss what happens to veteran benefits when incarcerated and the options available to help both veterans and their family. It is important to notify the VA if a veteran is incarcerated and if the veteran is receiving disability compensation as there is a reduction in percentage when incarcerated to avoid having to owe a debt to the VA once released. In addition it is important to connect with the <a href='https://www.va.gov/homeless/vjo.asp'>Veteran Justice Outreach Program</a> representative to prepare for being released to avoid homelessness. Tune to hear more about what is available and the steps a veteran needs to take during and upon re-entering back into society.<br/><br/>Incarcerated Veterans<br/><a href='https://www.benefits.va.gov/persona/veteran-incarcerated.asp'>https://www.benefits.va.gov/persona/veteran-incarcerated.asp</a><br/><br/>Veteran Justice Outreach Program<br/><a href='https://www.va.gov/homeless/vjo.asp'>https://www.va.gov/homeless/vjo.asp</a><br/><br/><a href='https://benefits.va.gov/BENEFITS/factsheets/misc/JusticeInvolved.pdf'>https://benefits.va.gov/BENEFITS/factsheets/misc/JusticeInvolved.pdf</a><br/><br/>Check out our other podcasts: <a href='https://feeds.buzzsprout.com/1911442.rss'>Beyond The Frontline</a>, <a href='https://feeds.buzzsprout.com/1947138.rss'>Be Crazy Well</a><br/><br/>If you have a question you would like Tyler and Paul to address, send us an email at cominghomewell@gmail.com.<br/><br/>Stay up to date and gain early access to new podcasts and upcoming events by signing up for our newsletter at <a href='https://lp.constantcontactpages.com/su/P9QRg9T'>Coming Home Well Newsletter</a><br/><br/>Straight to the Point is a Coming Home Well Podcast<br/>Follow us on IG <a href='https://www.instagram.com/cominghomwell_bts/'>@cominghomwell_bts</a> and <a href='https://www.instagram.com/behindtheservice/'>@behi
