Admit personal raise (3,2)
I believe the answer is:
own up
'admit' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
'personal raise' is the wordplay.
'personal' becomes 'own' (similar in meaning).
'raise' becomes 'up' (I've seen this in other clues).
'own'+'up'='OWN UP'
(Other definitions for own up that I've seen before include "Come clean (about wrongdoing)" , "Confess, acknowledge fault" , "be honest" , "Admit to wrongdoing" , "Accept responsibility" .)
