I just filed my first appeal with the VA via RAMP. I faxed in the form and then mailed in the form with all my supporting evidence. I used the address on the form for the BVA, which is:
BOARD OF VETERANS' APPEALS
P.O. BOX 27063
WASHINGTON DC 20038
FAX: 202-495-6803
I sent it via USPS Priority Mail (paid $6.70), last Thursday 10/4/2018 knowing it would be there by Saturday 10/6/2018 (I live approximately 2 1/2 hours south of DC). I am the type who likes to watch the progress of packages I send, I noticed on Tuesday it still showed to be at the post office in DC. I called the post office and after being on hold for an hour they said they would open a case on the package. I just got called from the post office and was told that the address above has an automatic forwarding address to Janesville, WI. So to make a long story short don't be surprised when you send in your appeal via RAMP and it is forwarded.
I hope this helps anyone who mails in an appeal. I am also including a copy of the form for those who may need it.
I am not an attorney or an a credited VA rep. These are my personal opinions and experiences, always remember what worked for me may not work for you.
You as the veteran are your own best advocate and no one knows your disabilities better than you. It is highly recommended that you as the veteran research and verify that any opinion given meets your specific situation.
