Someone told by JC that they needed a passport to claim UC, they do not have one and do not want me as Brit Cit. I have not seen anything tio clarify this so is it just an over zealous JC worker?

No requirement, certainly nothing in the regs. Passports are not a statutory requirement, so it cannot be insisted upon. DWP can, of course, ask for evidence of right to reside and so forth.
