Kernrechtsfrage
Whether the refusal of unentgeltliche Verbeiständung in the cantonal social insurance appeal was lawful.
Extrahierter Entscheid
The refusal was upheld because the appellant failed to show indigence; the court accepted that further mortgage financing on the spouse's property could provide funds.
Extrahierte Begründung
Indigence is assessed by income and assets of both spouses. A property owner may be expected to raise a mortgage if the property can still be encumbered. New evidence submitted only before the Federal Court was inadmissible.
