Armed Forces (Pensions and Compensation) Act 2004
Write the words of this act the way you think they should read. Solon shows your change as a redline against the published text and pins it to that exact text, so it can never be applied to wording you did not see.
Change 1
1 Pension and compensation schemes: armed and reserve forces
(1) The Secretary of State may by order establish schemes which, in respect of a person’s service in the armed forces, provide— (a) for benefits, in the form of pensions or otherwise, to be payable to or in respect of him on termination of service or on death or retirement, or (b) for payments to be made towards the provision of such benefits. Such a scheme is referred to in this Act as an armed forces pension scheme. (2) The Secretary of State may by order establish schemes which provide for benefits to be payable to or in respect of a person by reason of his illness or injury (whether physical or mental), or his death, which is attributable (wholly or partly) to his service in the armed forces or the reserve forces. Such a scheme is referred to in this Act as an armed and reserve forces compensation scheme. (2A) Subsections (1) and (2) are subject to sections 18 and 19 of the Public Service Pensions Act 2013 (restrictions on benefits provided under existing schemes). (3) The Secretary of State may provide for any scheme under this section to be administered by another person.

One line that says what changes, such as "Halve the dog tax".
Who it helps, what it costs, what it fixes. It is what persuades people to support it.
A proposal here is not law. Support on Solon is evidence that people want the change; the official route says what it takes to make it law.
