Kernrechtsfrage
Whether the cantonal refusal of free legal representation was unlawful because the claimant was indigent and needed counsel.
Extrahierter Entscheid
The refusal was lawful because the claimant did not sufficiently substantiate his financial situation and thus could be denied indigence.
Extrahierte Begründung
A person requesting legal aid must fully disclose and, where possible, document income, assets, and obligations. If required information or supporting documents are withheld, indigence may be denied without violating constitutional rights.
