many thanks!
on the basis that you have looked through the application form, done the self assessment & read guidance notes for the YMS,
http://www.ind.homeoffice.gov.uk/visas- ... /applying/the best way to answer you is that you simply fill in the application form true & factual & to provide only what they ask for in the application as supporting documents - dont confuse the application with anything not requested
FYI - suggest you also read the policy statement linked below - this I think will answer your question
