Question juridique clé
Whether the cantonal court unlawfully refused free legal aid and counsel for the first-instance appeal proceedings.
Solution extraite
No. The claimant had sufficient disposable resources to cover foreseeable litigation costs within a year, and several asserted expenses were not shown to be necessary.
Motifs extraits
The claimed expenses for a housekeeper, car leasing, insurance savings, and garage rent were either insufficiently proven or not necessary; the remaining surplus income made legal aid unavailable under Art. 61 lit. f LPGA.
