Questão jurídica principal
Whether the appellant has a right to supplementary benefits despite the inheritance asset being counted in the assessment.
Decisão extraída
The inheritance share could be treated as an asset for supplementary-benefit purposes; the refusal of benefits was lawful.
Fundamentação extraída
The court relied on settled case law that an heir may assign or pledge his expectant share, so an undivided inheritance may be considered in the asset calculation from the opening of succession. The appellant's inability to sell his share to co-heirs did not remove this legal possibility.
