The domain wall depinning field represents the minimum magnetic field needed
to move a domain wall, typically pinned by samples' disorder or patterned
constrictions. Conventionally, such field is considered independent on the
Gilbert damping since it is assumed to be the field at which the Zeeman energy
equals the pinning energy barrier (both damping independent). Here, we analyse
numerically the domain wall depinning field as function of the Gilbert damping
in a system with perpendicular magnetic anisotropy and Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya
interaction. Contrary to expectations, we find that the depinning field depends
on the Gilbert damping and that it strongly decreases for small damping
parameters. We explain this dependence with a simple one-dimensional model and
we show that the reduction of the depinning field is related to the internal
domain wall dynamics, proportional to the Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya interaction,
and the finite size of the pinning barriers
