6 War gratuity not a right
A war gratuity shall not be claimable or recoverable by any person as a matter of right, but shall be deemed to be a free gift by the Commonwealth in recognition of honorable service during the war, and the crediting or payment of a war gratuity may in any case be withheld or deferred by a prescribed authority or made subject to such terms and conditions as a prescribed authority, having regard to the interests or deserts of the claimant, thinks just and proper.
