Key legal question
Whether the insured was entitled to party compensation for the objection proceedings against the IV decision of 11 June 2004.
Extracted holding
No entitlement existed because he had not requested free legal assistance, and the objection proceedings did not show special circumstances justifying compensation.
Extracted reasoning
Under Art. 52(3) second sentence ATSG, party compensation is generally excluded in objection proceedings. The case was not particularly complex, the written submissions were limited, and the fact that the objection was useful to correct the administration did not create a right to compensation.
