Questione giuridica chiave
Whether the cantonal court correctly refused free legal aid because the appeal against the pension denial lacked prospects of success.
Decisione estratta
Yes. Given the unanimous medical opinions, the appeal was not seriously arguable and was therefore hopeless.
Motivazione estratta
The record consistently showed no arthropathy and no relevant work-capacity limitation from hereditary haemochromatosis. No treating or expert physician identified overlooked aspects requiring further evidence.
