## Before you fax

- Federal Student Aid recommends applying online at StudentAid.gov, or uploading a hand-signed application with the Document Upload Tool. Fax and mail are for when neither works for you.
- Include the supporting documents: proof from the VA or SSA, or the certification from your doctor or other medical professional (if your application uses one, they sign it too).
- A caregiver or representative can apply for you with an Applicant Representative Designation (ARD) form.
- Track the application afterwards under "My Activity" in your StudentAid.gov account.

## Steps

1. Fill in and sign the TPD discharge application, and gather the supporting documents.
2. Scan or photograph every page.
3. Enter 540-212-2415 and add the pages.
4. Send, and keep the delivery receipt.
