Q1 Disposing of your ID increases your chances of success
- passport can establish links to safe 3rd country
- passport can show how long you remained in that country
- no ID makes it harder to prove you are not from the place you claim
- no ID makes it harder to prove you are not a failed asylum seeker from another country.
etc.
Q2 2) burden on proof is very low

The burden of proof rests with the claimant to show that they qualify for protection under the Refugee Convention and the European Convention on Human Rights, including evidencing their nationality. The standard of proof that the claimant needs to meet is the lower standard, they just need to show a reasonable degree of likelihood (or real risk) that they will face persecution...
If the Home Office considers the claimant to be a specific nationality other than that claimed, the burden of proof rests with the Home Office to prove the assertion according to the balance of probabilities standard (this is a higher threshold than the lower standard of proof – reasonable likelihood - mentioned above). The test is met if it is more likely than not that the claimant holds the asserted nationality.
