Trudi's Biographical Sketch

My credentials as an author include writing and teaching adults which is a perfect combination for a book like Win Your Disability Benefits Now.

I’ve designed and implemented training programs for adults in the workplace for the past twenty years. My clients include Fortune 500 companies and small business struggling to meet quality and business standards. The results of my work have garnered state and national recognition.

My skills span from assessing a company’s multi-million dollar training requirements to analyzing specific jobs and uncovering the mysterious sequence of steps that made one person’s work superior to another’s. Whether working on the floor with hourly employees or in the classroom I inspire people. My passionate dynamic and sometimes unconventional style has left a trail of “Trudi’s groupies” across the United States.

When I became unable to work, I faced the inevitable necessity of filing for SSDI. I sought information on how to complete the application. The internet offered only appalling stories of deserving disabled adults denied benefits and trapped for years in one appeal after another. I was stunned. The statistics confirmed their stories. I became enraged. Turning anger into positive action, I made a pact with myself to win my benefits the first time I applied. I left no aspect of my application to chance.

Despite the profusion of data on the Social Security Administration’s website, useful information on how to complete the application was non-existent. With almost no help on the internet, I sought books on the subject. Lawyers or ex-Social Security employees wrote the few books I found. These books offered little advice on how to answer the questions on the application.

Like any task analysis, I sought the “mysterious steps” that would make my application succeed where others had failed. After carefully analyzing each question and thinking like a SSDI caseworker, I found the formula for success. Within three months of submitting my application, I received $10,000 in back benefits and a future of monthly checks.

There remained an ache in my belly. Thousands of people every month are denied benefits simply because they don’t know how to complete an application. So, I began the journey of researching, validating and writing Win Your Disability Benefits Now. I’m confident this book will change lives and stop the cycle of denials.
