SEC. 7. For the purposes of this Act, any person in the active service for ninety days or more shall be deemed to have been in sound physical and mental condition at the time of his entry into the active service except as to defects, infirmities, disorder or diseases noted and made of record at the time of such entry into the active service, or where the evidence or medical judgment clearly warrants a finding that the wound, injury, disease or sickness existed prior to entry into the active service. Wounds or injuries received, or sickness or disease incurred in the active service shall be presumed to have been received or incurred in line of duty in the absence of evidence to the contrary. The determination prior to discharge of an officer or enlisted man as to his entitlement to gratuity or pension under section six of this Act shall be presumed final unless evidence and medical judgment clearly show otherwise, in which case a redetermination may be allowed: Provided, That the discharge or other separation from the active service shall be an honorable one. The employment of any pensionee under this Act in any government service or in any government owned corporation shall automatically terminate his right under this Act, but the same shall automatically be revived upon his separation from said employment.
