I'm skeptical of this. This is essentially the way the GIBill works. They give you just enough money for books and tuition, and rent (while you're actively in school) but for nothing else. I found myself completely exhausted trying to work full time and go to school full time and eventually dropped out.

Except that's not how the GI Bill works; it didn't work that way when I was using it.

I used Post-911 and that was exactly how it worked in 2013.

There were some specific changes two years ago, but it doesn't look like it covers the problems I mentioned: https://www.benefits.va.gov/GIBILL/FGIBSummaries.asp

Feel free to be specific beyond "That's not how the GI Bill works"
