Supervisor - Senior Claimant Representative

Supervisor of senior claimant representatives David Bueltemann has helped more than 5,000 people with disabilities receive their entitled Social Security Disability Insurance. During this time he has represented SSDI applicants at administrative law judge hearings in 29 states in 10 judicial circuits.

He joined Allsup Inc. in 1991 and served as an appeals analyst and claims manager before assuming his current position. Mr. Bueltemann’s current responsibilities include preparing and submitting detailed legal briefs to administrative law judges (ALJ) in an effort to secure on-the-record SSDI award decisions. Understanding and successfully building strong underlying support for the disabled persons claim is a specialized skill that, when applied well, has a positive lifelong impact on Allsup clients and their financial situation.

“The last thing that a seriously ill or injured claimant should have to face is a stressful courtroom appearance,” Mr. Bueltemann said. “My job is to present enough evidence that an ALJ can award benefits without the claimant attending a court proceeding. This makes a very difficult life situation for the claimant a little easier to handle.”
