Do I have to pay someone to help me with my appeal to the Board?

It depends on who helps you.  The following explains the differences:
*Veterans’ service organizations will represent you for free.
*Attorneys or agents can charge you for helping you under some circumstances. 

Paying their fees for helping you with your appeal to the Board is your responsibility.  If you do hire an attorney or agent to represent you, one of you must send a copy of any fee agreement to the following address within 30 days from the date of agreement is executed: Office of the General Counsel (022D), 810 Vermont Avenue NW, Washington, DC 20420.  See 38 C.F.R. 14.636(g).  If the fee agreement provides for the direct payment of fees out of past-due benefits, a copy of the agreement must also be filed with us at the address at the top of our letter. See 38 C.F.R. 14.636(h)(4)
