This allows the claimant to keep track of their documents that they send in, making postal loss virtually impossible, gives the claimant more peace of mind, show's that the email has been received, by the time scale given.
All other benefit departments have this facility, the HMRC should give this to their customers too. Phone calls are expensive, rarely answered, and once answered, invariably the call handler will be confronted with a frustrated claimant, ending in the call be disconnected.
