      Actual Results

      The status message is not being announced when a user submits any claim. As a result, screen reader users won't be able to understand whether their request has been successfully sent or not.

      Expected Results

      Display a visual message stating as "Your request has been sent successfully."
      Use ARIA live region to make sure that the dynamic update is announced for screen reader users. This can be achieved by either adding a live region role="status" or aria-live="polite" and aria-atomic="true" attributes to the container used to display the message. Make sure the live region is present in the page source by default.
