Application Acknowledgement

Does the home office sent an acknowledgement of the applications made of post. Does it say the date of actual receipt of the date when the application was posted( as that’s the date it takes into account ) ?

If applied from within the UK, you should receive an acknowledgement letter informing you of the reference number. It doesn't specify the date on which your application was received by UKBA.

You will have the receipt for proof of postage or a receipt from a courier company, this is more than enough to prove your date of application.
