Yes, they assume you are not lying about anything you put on the form. Many conditions are waiverable if controlled with medication, so there's no need to try to hide anything. You're only asking for trouble down the road.
So, just wanting to clarify here for a second, if you are otherwise, healthy they don't do blood work?
A cousin of my (many moons ago) was trying to get a his license, and only thing he had to do was get his medical done. When he found out he had to give blood, he said no and nevertheless never got his license (after spending all that money too...) He has a horrible fear of needles. Has the rule change or always been that way?
