Welfare Reform Act 2012
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
82 Terminal illness
(1) This section applies to a person who— (a) is terminally ill; and (b) has made a claim for personal independence payment expressly on the ground of terminal illness. (2) A person to whom this section applies is entitled to the daily living component at the enhanced rate (and accordingly section 78(1) and (2) do not apply to such a person). (3) Section 79(1)(c) and (2)(c) (required period condition for mobility component) do not apply to a person to whom this section applies. (4) For the purposes of this section a person is “terminally ill” at any time if at that time the person suffers from a progressive disease and the person's death in consequence of that disease can reasonably be expected within 12 months. (5) For the purposes of this section, where— (a) a person purports to make a claim for personal independence payment on behalf of another, and (b) the claim is made expressly on the ground that the person on whose behalf it purports to be made is terminally ill, that person is to be regarded as making the claim despite its being made without that person's knowledge or authority. (6) In subsection (2) “the enhanced rate” has the meaning given by section 78(3).

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.
