Questão jurídica principal
Whether the refusal of unentgeltliche Rechtspflege and appointed counsel in the objection proceedings violated Art. 29(3) BV.
Decisão extraída
No constitutional violation: although the claimant was needy and his request was not hopeless, the case did not require legal assistance because he could adequately protect his rights himself.
Fundamentação extraída
The authorities could assume he understood the situation and could notify them of changes, including the end of unemployment benefits. The factual and legal questions in the objection procedure were not complex enough to make counsel necessary.
