Social Security (Incapacity for Work) Act 1994
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.

13 Saving for existing enactments.
(1) The amendments of the Social Security Contributions and Benefits Act 1992 made by this Act shall be treated as repealing and re-enacting with modifications the provisions of that Act relating to incapacity for work, so that, subject to any amendment, repeal or revocation— (a) any reference in any enactment to any such provision shall be construed as a reference to the corresponding new provision or, as the case may be, to the provision as amended by this Act; and (b) subordinate legislation made under any such provision— (i) shall continue in force and have effect as if made under the corresponding new provision or, as the case may be, the provision as amended by this Act, and (ii) shall be construed as if originally so made. (2) In any enactment, subject to any amendment— (a) any reference to sickness benefit shall be construed as a reference to short-term incapacity benefit at the lower rate, and (b) any reference to invalidity benefit or invalidity pension shall be construed as a reference to short-term incapacity benefit at the higher rate or long-term incapacity benefit. (3) In this section “enactment” includes an enactment contained in subordinate legislation, and “subordinate legislation” has the meaning given by section 21(1) of the Interpretation Act 1978.

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.
