Kernrechtsfrage
Whether the denial of legal aid before the Federal Administrative Court was unlawful
Extrahierter Entscheid
The denial was upheld because, in any event, the underlying appeal had no prospects of success; the applicant's financial situation could remain open.
Extrahierte Begründung
Even if the assessment of disposable income was likely flawed, legal aid requires both indigence and non-frivolous prospects. The appeal was hopeless because the applicant had not ensured delivery of the AI office's correspondence and had to bear the consequences of failed notification.
