JSA ID Checks

I'm currently in the middle of moving from Stirling, back into my parents home in Northumberland. I had a job here, but earning £700 a month was not enough to pay the bills. I already had credit card debt of £15,000, but over the last few months the debt situation was getting worse [council tax arrears, unpaid gas and electricity bills.] So I thought the best thing to do was to go home, and get a handle on the debt instead of making the situation worse.

I have been looking for work, and decided to make a JSA claim. Not sure if I'll qualify as I voluntarily quit my job. But anyway, I'm moving out of the flat in Stirling today, and received the telephone call. I have an interview on Monday, but the problem is ID. I have my birth certificate [in a box somewhere!], but I don't have any letters with my parents address yet. I can get a bank statement this morning, and have recent payslips, but no P45 yet

Is this sufficient?
