Ref:- In continuation of this HQ office letter of even No. dated 26.10.2009
DefenceCivilian Medical Aid Fund (DCMAF) was established in 1953 as Defence Civilians Welfare (TB, Cancer and Leprosy) Fund to provide financial assistance to its members in case they or dependents suffer from specified ailments. The membership of the fund is on voluntary basis and is open to all civilians employees, whether industrial or non-industrail. Though, it was established since long and has been providing relief to its members in Defence establishments in their hour of distress and the fund considerably expended during these years among Defence Civilians, it is still not much popular in Defence Accounts Department. This came into question by some of the members while attending the 54th Annual Meeting. 2. Therefore, the steps need to be taken to popularize the fund among the DAD personnel. In this regard a copy of Salient Features / Benefits provided by the fund is enclosed herewith for necessary action at your end so that the membership percentage is enhanced in the ensuing years.

I have applied for grant underAnaemia During Pregnancy & Lactating Mother & sumitted the releavent forms 4 months ago but still have not recieved any aid...
It is a lengthy process.
Sir, Iam a handicapped employee holding full service membership and for the first time I had applied for reimbursement of medical aids(calipers & crutches)last year, But unfortunately DCMAF has made this procedure so complicated and made several observations in my claim.
1)The form that I downloaded fm DCMAF website for reimbursement- They say its in old format, then why is it still there in ur website in the first place.
2) Forms that I had submitted were certified by CMO (Govt Hosp), but u guys want the estimed CMO to sign over the bill of Calipers that I had bought from a private maker. Why would he do that.
3) You want CMO to certify that calipers that I have made are correctly priced?????and can not be made in Govt.Hosp/inst.
as such It shows how much Govt is interested in providing actual support to its employees. SAB BAKWAS.
