Judgment_paragraph 29 · Caisse d’assurance retraite et de la santé au travail d’Alsace-Moselle v SJ and Ministre chargé de la Sécurité sociale (C-769/18)

29The Court has also stated that, in order for it to be considered that the first condition has not been satisfied, the discretionary nature of the assessment, by the competent authority, of the personal needs of a recipient of a benefit must, above all, relate to eligibility for that benefit. Those considerations apply, mutatis mutandis, in respect of the individual character of the assessment by the competent authority of the personal needs of a recipient of a benefit (see, to that effect, judgment of 14 March 2019, Dreyer, C‑372/18, EU:C:2019:206, paragraph 35 and the case-law cited).
