Joshua,
Is there a supervisor who you could contact? Is there a way you could have a 
personal copy of your records so that if something like this happens again 
you don't have to deal with resubmitting a request for records?

Arielle, the DSB in Arkansas wanted all of my medical information!
Here's the problem I had with them!
After my DSB counselor retired, and this new woman took over, I had to
get another letter proving that I was blind!
That stuff should've been on file, but she said that she didn't have it!
Evidently, when the old woman retired, my file was taken with her so
we have to start from scratch!
I'm tired of this run around, that I'm getting!
Blessings, Joshua
