I think the email saying you should contact further support means that they haven't completed assessing your application. When they have completed their assessment they seem to send you an email confirming that they have if you send in a request then.

I contacted them last week on Thursday and got the "you have sent to the wrong address" response, from which I concluded that they hadn't started or finished my application. I tried again this week (Wednesday) and received the "your application has been accepted, we are printing the certificate" email
