Income tax return form does not have a provision to claim exemption for LTA and medical bills. These should be provided by employer only.
If you decide to reduce taxable income by that amount and file returns, there would be mismatch in form-16 taxable income (on which employer deposits TDS) and what you declare. In this case IT department may send you notice to explain the difference.
