  • For some veterans, it makes sense to think about VA + SSDI together.
    If that’s you, you can add the SSDI Readiness Bridge to extend your work with me.

    • 2 extra 1:1 calls focused on SSDI eligibility, timelines, and strategy

    • Education on how VA decisions and SSDI can interact

    • Simple application prep templates (education only)

    • Email support during the extra 2 weeks

    • This membership is only for graduates of the 6‑week program (with or without the SSDI Bridge) who want:

      • A trusted place to ask questions as new VA letters or decisions arrive

      • Help prioritizing next steps and evidence over time

      • Accountability and support as they follow their VA roadmap

    • What’s Included

      • One 45–60 minute 1:1 check‑in call per month

      • Priority messaging access (responses in 1 business day whenever possible)

      • Review of new VA letters/decisions to help you understand what they mean in plain language

      • Roadmap tweaks as your situation changes

      • Template updates & resources as I improve the program tools
