    Full Replacement Value (FRV) is an important benefit for military service members, DA and DoD civilian employees and families. To receive FRV coverage, a claimant must give the Transportation Service Provider (TSP) notice of loss and damage within 75 days of the delivery, and file a claim directly with the TSP within 9 months of the delivery.

    To file a Notice of Loss/Damage and to file your claim, please log-on to www.move.mil.

    Please note, if you comply with the notice and filing deadlines you're entitled to FRV for missing or irreparably damaged items. If your goods are reparable, the carrier may elect to repair the item.

    Loss or damage that you suffer incident to your service may be payable. To learn if you have a payable claim, call your claims office to discuss your particular circumstances.

    Claims personnel can tell you if your claim is payable, and explain your filing requirements. All incident to service losses should be filed directly with your respective Military Services claims office.

SPECIAL VICTIM COUNSEL SERVICES

  • Special Victim Counsel Services

    The Special Victim’s Counsel’s (SVC) mission is to provide victims of sexual assault with confidential legal representation related to issues that may arise as a result of being sexually assaulted. These services are free of charge. SVCs can answer questions about investigations and the legal process; including filing a restricted or unrestricted report, and the right not to make a statement. Conversations with the SVC are privileged and confidential, meaning that generally, the SVC cannot reveal anything without a client’s permission, including a Soldier’s chain of command, law enforcement, other attorneys, the SARC or UVA, or anyone else. The SVC may provide the following services:

    • Accompany clients to and advise me during interviews, examinations, hearings, and court-martial proceedings.
    • Represent a client’s interests in a court-martial as permitted by law.
    • Refer clients to the Trial Defense Service for collateral misconduct, if necessary.
    • Advocate for a client’s interest with Government counsel on disposition options.
    • Assist clients with post-trial submissions to include victim impact statements.
    • Advise clients on collateral civil issues arising from the crime.
    • Provide Legal Assistance services

    Soldiers may speak with a SVC at anytime during the legal, medical, or investigative process. The SVC office is located in the Legal Assistance Office in the Office of the Staff Judge Advocate (Building 106), on Grafenwoehr (Tower Barracks), Germany. SVCs are available by appointment and walk-ins.
