Dan Wimmer Social Security Lawyer
About Dan Wimmer – Social Security Lawyer
Dan Wimmer was in the commercial banking business for twenty-two years and served as president of two banks. He was also the founder of another bank that opened in the 1990s. By the 1990s, Dan had left the banking industry and formed a specialty construction company that grew to become the largest of its type in the Southwest, with annual revenues exceeding $20 million before selling the company.
Dan’s journey of becoming a Social Security Disability Insurance lawyer was deeply influenced by his own experiences navigating the complexities of the Social Security system for a family member. This experience opened his eyes to the struggles faced by many individuals seeking assistance from the Social Security Administration.
His extensive commercial banking and business leadership background equipped him with the analytical mindset and problem-solving skills necessary to advocate for those in need. With compassion at the forefront of his practice, Dan is committed to ensuring every client receives the attention and expertise required to maneuver through the daunting disability application process successfully. His mission is simple: transform a potentially overwhelming experience into a pathway toward securing the benefits you deserve.

Our Mission
Our mission is to improve your chances of being approved for SSDI/SSI benefits by ensuring that your initial application is error-free and meets all SSA rules.
We accomplish our mission by carefully reviewing your initial application, looking for weaknesses in your answers to SSA-Form questions, and analyzing your medical records to ensure they show your inability to sustain continuous work activity. Our review includes simple things like suggesting better ways to explain your symptoms on questionnaires or recommending different methods to gather current or past medical evidence.
While many law firms only take clients after their claims have been denied, we have a different approach. Because about 65% of the initial applications are denied, we encourage clients to contact us the moment they become disabled and wonder if they would qualify for SSDI benefits. At Dan Wimmer Law, we believe that having legal representation at the beginning of the Social Security disability process claim puts our clients in the best position to avoid common errors and mistakes.
Simple mistakes and contradicting statements are some of the leading reasons “initial applications” for SSDI benefits have been denied. Even minor mistakes can be harmful because they raise questions about the seriousness of your disability and sends signals to claims examiners. Any errors with the application file remain with the claim forever. Simple mistakes are avoidable. Don’t give SSA a reason to flag your application permanently.
Getting help starting your SSDI/SSI benefit application is not difficult. You do not need to come to our office; call 833-833-2026 or email us your contact information. Every client gets a free Social Security Disability consultation or case evaluation. We are here to help. Call or contact us Today.

Did You Know?
- SSDI “initial applications” are frequently denied because they do not have enough information for SSA to justify a favorable decision or the medical record information contains conflicting statements. This is one of the main reasons it is always better to work with a Social Security Disability attorney before seeing a doctor or spending countless hours on an application that fails to meet the SSA’s definition of disability. An attorney knows how to assist you from the moment you decide to file for SSDI.
- The SSA typically will not approve an SSDI benefits award if your monthly earnings exceed $1,620. (2025).
- The amount of work credits a person needs to qualify for SSDI depends on their age and when they became disabled. The rule of thumb is that a person needs 40 credits, and 20 must have been earned in the last 10 years. However, younger applicants may need fewer work credits. Work credits are income-based, not hour-based. In 2025, you will receive one credit for each $1,810 of earnings up to the maximum of 4 credits per year.
- If you are over 50 and suffering from a physical or mental disability that prevents you from performing any of your past types of work, you have a good chance of winning a Social Security Disability claim.
- In 2025, the non-blind Substantial Gainful Activity (SGA) threshold will increase to $1,620/month, and the amount of monthly earnings that trigger a Trial Work Period (TWP) will increase to $1,160/month.
- In 2025, the maximum monthly SSI benefit will increase to $967 for an individual and $1,450 for an eligible couple. SSA anticipates that the 2025 average monthly Social Security benefit for all disabled workers will be $1,580.
