Larry,
I can help you with this one and it will work. I got the same darn run around, about perhaps there were medical records at the archives for me, since in 2004, I located my long lost Psychiatric records and a letter of my discharge from my C.O.
Pearl told me that the letter from the archives with the medical records were due in on September 2, well like a dummy I waited, but they told me that if in the mean time, if I wanted to contact the archives for missing records and send them to them, they could progress with my claim.
Not true. I send for those darn records in May and again in July and heard the same story. They had received what I sent to them, but they wanted something directly from the archives themselves, that didn't pass through my hands. Well they should have told that the first time.
Nothing showed up from the archives on the 2nd of September.
They were still waiting for their records. I called the archives to find out that they had never been requested by the AMC.
Larry, If there are no more records, this is what you need to do. It worked with me at the archives. I beat them at their own game. I called the archives, used the internet to request for them to please fax this information into the AMC. I got a phone call from the archives to see if that is exactly what I needed. The technicican said that he would have a letter faxed to them in about 10 minutes. He even went to the extent to call the archives to see if they received his fax and then called me back.
Now, finally my file is moving.

Larry, you need to call the Okla. Rehab, and ask them yourself if they have any other records for you for 1964? They will check and if they say no. Tell them to "state that there are no more records at this center for the following years, for Name, Social Security Number.
Tell them that you want them to fax this information to the AMC fax # 1 – 202- 530- 9216.
They will be happy to do this for you, if you explain to them what is going on.
You can then call the AMC and see if they have the letter and then your file will move on out.
I hate to tell you that date, she gave you, is nothing factual, just what they assume. They absolutely will not work your claim until this is done.
If you need more help, don't hesitate to let me know.
Always,
josephine
