The Welfare Reform Act 2012 (Commencement No. 35) (Abolition of Benefits) Order 2025
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
3A Abolition of income-related employment and support allowance
(1) Subject to the saving in paragraph (2), the day appointed for the coming into force of the amending provisions in the case of an award of old style ESA in respect of which those provisions— (a) have not yet come into force, and (b) are not due to come into force, or to be treated as coming into force, at the end of a two week run-on period, is 1st July 2026. (2) Where the amending provisions would otherwise come into force on 1st July 2026 by virtue of paragraph (1), they are to be treated as if they had not come into force in the case of an award where— (a) immediately before that date, a person is appointed under regulation 57 of the Universal Credit, Personal Independence Payment, Jobseeker’s Allowance and Employment and Support Allowance (Claims and Payments) Regulations 2013 (persons unable to act), or (b) at any time within the period of 6 months ending with that date, the Secretary of State determined that it was likely that such a person would need to be appointed (whether or not an appointment was made). (3) The saving in paragraph (2) does not prevent the amending provisions from coming into force as a consequence of a claim for universal credit or from being treated as coming into force in accordance with regulation 46(1)(a) of the Transitional Regulations (termination of existing benefits if no claim before the deadline).

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.
