Freedom Of Information Request Blocked email

The request was successful.

Dear Department for Work and Pensions,
You will be aware that I have made previous requests for information in relation to my Record Of Evidence, your ultimate reply was that my request for information was hypothetical. I then proceeded to send you factual documentation of my ROE to your email inbox. I subsequently got an automated reply saying that you had received my email and I could be rest assured that you would reply within 20 working days. I didn't get a reply within 20 working days and then you subsequently, despite your automated response, denied receiving my freedom of information request! During this last week I have submitted my same freedom of information request to you again for your compliance to your email inbox. This time I haven't had an automated response to say that you have received my emailed Freedom of Information Request!

Based on the above paragraph does the FOI team put a block on any citizen who sends a Freedom Of Information request to the DWP Freedom Of Information email inbox?

If a block is put on someone's Freedom Of Information request via email on what legal grounds or any other reason can the FOI team be justified to carry out this action?

If a block is put on a citizen sending an emailed Freedom Of Information request so the DWP FOI team cannot see it to be able to give a reply, is the DWP Freedom Of Information team breaking the law?

I have looked through the public domain and cannot find the answers to my requests, would you please provide me answers to my freedom of information requests as I am legally entitled to by law.

Thankyou.

Yours faithfully,

Mr N Parker
