No pension shall be granted to an applicant who at any time within five years immediately prior to the filing of an application for such pension has made assignment or transfer of property so as to render himself eligible to such pension. No pension shall be subject to trustee process or assignment, and no applicant for a pension, who knowingly makes any false statement or perpe- trates any fraud or deception in relation to his application, shall be granted any pension nor be eligible for one during one year thereafter.
