Pass it on… ADISORY: HAIL DAMAGE CLAIM SUPPLEMENTAL GUIDANCE This transmittal provides supplemental guidance to the email published on June 5 and explains how to file a claim with the Military Claims Office (MCO). Claimants are required to file with their insurance company prior to filing with the MCO. After you settle with your insurance company, you may submit your claim for the entire cost of repair to the Fort Carson Military Claims Office. The MCO will adjudicate your claim under the Personnel Claims Act (PCA) to determine if any amount in addition to your insurance settlement may be offered. If the cost of repair is less than the amount of your insurance deductible, you may file directly with the MCO. In that case, your claim must include proof of your deductible cost as well as an estimate or invoice for repair. Likewise, if your insurance does not provide coverage for this type of loss, you must provide a copy of the policy with your claim. To submit your claim to the MCO, you must log into the Personnel Claims Army Information Management System (PCLAIMS). PCLAIMS can be accessed at the Judge Advocate General's Internet site. Enter www.jagcnet5.army.mil/pclaims in your browser's address line. Click the Claims link on the right side and then click on the PCLAIMS link on the left side. The PCLAIMS link will describe the rules for filing personnel claims and allow you to fill out all of the required forms. You must use an Army Knowledge Online (AKO) account, or CAC card, to use PCLAIMS. Claims submitted on PCLAIMS should have the following documents uploaded: 1. A completed VID number (Vender ID #) Request form (open attachment at link provided below). This form needs to be returned to this office by email at chon.c.winnard.civ@mail.mil so that we can electronically request a VID# from DFAS to process your claim for payment. VID numbers may take approximately seven days to be issued.

TBI STUDY The Defense and Veterans Brain Injury Center (DVBIC) research team on Fort Carson is actively recruiting for a new TBI non-drug treatment study. The purpose of the study is to see if adding a new type of brain training can help people who have had a concussion with symptoms such as memory, concentration, and emotional regulation. Study participation involves an intensive program of up to 20 treatments over six weeks and is non-invasive with minimal risks expected. We are looking for TRICARE eligible service members and veterans between the ages of 18 and 50 who have had a mild to moderate TBI within the past five years, and are still experiencing symptoms. If you would like to learn more, please contact Candace Hill, RN at the Warrior Recovery Center at candace.a.hill2.ctr@mail.mil or (719) 251-0696 to schedule a screening.
