Laravel using Policies and FormRequest classes together

I'm using the Form Request classes to validate data being passed into my controllers.

Additionally, I'm using Policies to determine if a current user is allowed to show / update / destroy etc the object in question.

If I am using Policies, does this mean I can simply use:

public function authorize()
{
    return true;
}

within my Request classes? Or should I be doing the check twice / writing them in different ways?

If someone could shed some light on this, that would be great.

Thanks.
