The Public Service (Civil Servants and Others) Pensions Regulations 2014
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
98 Option for pension credit member to commute whole pension (serious ill-health)
(1) This regulation applies in relation to a pension credit member whom the scheme medical adviser certifies has a life-expectancy of less than 12 months. (2) The pension credit member may opt to exchange the whole of the pension credit member’s pension under this scheme for a lump sum. (3) The option under this regulation (“this option”) may only be exercised— (a) by notice to the scheme manager in a form required by the scheme manager; and (b) before the first payment of the pension is made. (4) The lump sum— (a) is an amount equal to the total annual amount of the pension credit member’s pension, multiplied by 5; and (b) must be paid to the pension credit member as soon as is reasonably practicable after this option is exercised. (5) In this regulation, “total annual amount” in relation to a pension credit member’s pension means the total of— (a) the annual rate of pension to which the member would be entitled apart from this option, calculated as at the date this option is exercised, but without subtracting the early payment reduction (if any); and (b) the amount of increase (if any) in the annual rate of that pension under PIA 1971 calculated as at that date.

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.
How this law is officially changed
Solon does not know this law's official route yet. The proposal is recorded all the same, and the route appears here once its source is added.
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.
