Help - job application

I know this should go in Work but the application's due in tomorrow so I wanted to try and get some quick answers...
I'm filling out an online application form and the last question is asking me to relate my experience, skills and abilities to the specific requirements of the role. Now in the job description, there are three sections - main responsibilities (outlining what the role entails), person specification (outlining what the ideal candidate would need in terms of experience blah blah) and competencies, which is the section with more generic stuff you'll need like communication, resilience, valuing diversity.
My question is, do I need to write stuff for all three sections or just focus on the person specification? I rang their recruitment helpline and the bloke told me it was "down to my discretion" :nervous:
In the past I think I've only focused on the person specification but I'm worried as the other sections are quite detailed and I don't know if I'll get marked down for overlooking them, perhaps I should just cover all my bases??

Then move onto the sections.
But that's just me.
This.
Yep. We shortlisted last week and so many people lost out on silly things like not stating they had a driving licence even though it states it in the requirements.
Hope you don't mind me moving this now.
*Hugs* Did they send you a letter?
