After a few more phonecalls to the UC DWP helpline, I was able to get through the whole site without needing any ID proof at all, and it finally allowed a landline contact number which had been causing the system to freeze or fully crash.
It also accepted my Gmail address with inserted full stops as their emails.
I've just received emails to say that they will have 35 minute phonecalls one-after-the-other next Thursday "to prove their identity".

The system that started to be rolled-out when a passport was renewed a few years ago, contained only the name, age, sex of the holder. But it allowed them access to a much larger cache of information on central servers, including biometric data and chronic health condition information.
The cost of a passport went up to pay for the attached ID card. But when the cards were discontinued, the cost of the passport did not drop.
