26 Provision for dependants when not adequately provided for by member

Where a prescribed authority is satisfied at any time prior to the date of entitlement of any member that the member has neglected or failed to provide adequately for some or all of the member’s dependants, the prescribed authority may direct that the whole or portion of the war gratuity to which the member would otherwise be entitled shall be credited and payable to those dependants or to some person in trust for them upon such trusts as the prescribed authority directs which shall, if the prescribed authority so directs, be set out in a deed of trust executed by that person.
