Evidence of continuous residence while being unemployed

I've received an "Application Update" email, asking me to provide some further documents:

Evidence of continuous residence :-
Evidence that you were living in the United Kingdom between April 2019 and March 2020. Below is a list of the type of evidence that can show you were living in the United Kingdom (UK).

During that year, I was unemployed, as I lost my job due to the pandemic in March 2019.
I wasn't a student neither.

Most of the documents listed as proof of continous residence apply only to those who were employed (P60, payslips etc.)

However what can I provide for that period, as an unemployed person?

I was receiving Universal Credit, however they didn't really send me any letters. Everything has been done online. I had a joint account with my partner, but she was the one receiving it into her bank account. Can I provide a payment statement from the Universal Credit online account, listing all of our payments?

I am repaying a Student Loan. Would that count?

What other documents can I provide for that period? Thanks so much for your help!
