 |  I wish to appeal the VA decision to deny my claim for PTSD.
 Your letter dated March 10, 2005 states that my service
                                    connection for post traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is denied.
 
 In the REASONS FOR DECISION, paragraph four (4) is
                                    the following:
 
 “A review of your submitted evidence was made but this evidence does not affirmatively link or
                                    associate the condition of post traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) with your military service.”
 
 However, The US
                                    Federal District Court in Washington, DC, has ruled, on January 6, 2003, that my allegations of wrong doing filed against
                                    members of the United States Government, CIA, et al, is not admissible as evidence because these actions took place “incident
                                    to service” and therefore my $1.3 Billion Civil Action was dismissed, with prejudice and without comment. See File Number
                                    00-685 (EGS)
 
 Federal Court Judge Emmett Sullivan admonished me for submitting evidence of criminal acts because of
                                    the Feres Doctrine and I was directed in a letter from the court “not to refer to it again.”
 
 Therefore,
                                    a further review of my claim for PTSD is requested and a determination made as to which authority, the VA or the U.S. Federal
                                    District Court in Washington, D.C., is the higher authority in the matter of whether or not my claim is service related/incident
                                    to service.
 
 Respectfully submitted,
