For a British Airways claim, start with what you're asking for: a rule-based payment, repayment of expenses, or a ticket refund. They use different paths.
Separate each remedy
State whether you seek fixed compensation under a passenger-rights rule, repayment of documented expenses, or proven damages. Do not enter a treaty liability limit as an expected payout.
Attach relevant proof
Include the original and changed itinerary, actual arrival, cancellation notice, airline reason, earlier case number and itemized receipts. Ask for a written decision if the claim is denied.

Relevant rules and limits
Possible rule guides for this route or carrier include UK261 · EU261. The flight direction, date, ticket structure, reason and actual result decide whether a remedy applies. A support hub is not proof that a claim was submitted.
