Questão jurídica principal
Whether free legal representation had to be granted in the IV preliminary proceedings
Decisão extraída
The case was not sufficiently complex to make legal representation objectively necessary, especially given support from a social worker and the administrative duty to investigate ex officio.
Fundamentação extraída
Legal aid for legal representation in administrative IV proceedings is exceptional. Reviewing a medical expert report for flaws requires some medical and legal knowledge, but this alone does not create a complex case. The insured also had effective social-service support.
