Questão jurídica principal
Whether the opposition against the denial of AI benefits was not futile for purposes of free legal aid
Decisão extraída
The opposition was not manifestly futile; the medical assessment was sufficiently complex and contradictory to require examination by the authority deciding on the merits.
Fundamentação extraída
The insured raised non-frivolous objections to the evaluation of medical evidence and work capacity. Given the fragmented reasoning of the AI office and the difficulty of assessing pain symptoms without clear organic findings, success could not be denied at the summary stage.
