Kernrechtsfrage
Whether the failure to disclose the wife's written statement and allow comment before the first authority violated the right to be heard.
Extrahierter Entscheid
The hearing defect existed at first instance but was cured on administrative appeal, where the appellant could fully comment and no prejudice was shown.
Extrahierte Begründung
The appellant had later full access in the internal appeal, knew the reasons for the intended refusal, and could still raise both procedural and substantive objections; the defect was not particularly serious.
