28It should be recalled that the first condition is satisfied when a benefit is granted in the light of objective criteria which, if met, confer entitlement to the benefit, the competent authority having no power to take account of other personal circumstances. In that regard, the Court has held, in relation to benefits which are granted, refused or the amount of which is calculated by taking into account the recipient’s resources, that the grant of such benefits does not depend on an individual assessment of the applicant’s personal needs, provided that an objective, legally defined criterion gives entitlement to the benefit without the competent authority being able to take other personal circumstances into consideration (judgment of 14 March 2019, Dreyer, C‑372/18, EU:C:2019:206, paragraphs 33 and 34 and the case-law cited).
