If a petition is filed for the appointment of a guardian of a mentally incompetent ward, a certificate of the Secretary or a representative of the Secretary, setting forth the fact that such person has been rated incompetent by the Department of Veterans Affairs on examination in accordance with the laws and regulations governing the Department of Veterans Affairs and that the appointment of a guardian is a condition precedent to the payment of any money due such person by the Department of Veterans Affairs, constitutes prima facie evidence of the necessity for such appointment.
