Kernrechtsfrage
Whether the insured person was entitled to free legal assistance in the administrative pre-notice phase of the disability insurance proceedings
Extrahierter Entscheid
Exceptional legal assistance was warranted because the case involved significant factual and legal difficulties and the insured person could not reasonably handle them alone.
Extrahierte Begründung
In administrative social security proceedings, legal assistance is only required exceptionally; here, the medical record, mixed-method assessment, use of wage tables, and uncertainty about work capacity in the open labor market made the matter sufficiently complex.
