Social Security (Recovery of Benefits) Act 1997
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.

14 Reviews and appeals: supplementary.
(1) This section applies in cases where a fresh certificate of recoverable benefits is issued as a result of a review under section 10 or an appeal under section 11. (2) If— (a) a person has made one or more payments to the Secretary of State under section 6, and (b) in consequence of the review or appeal, it appears that the total amount paid is more than the amount that ought to have been paid, regulations may provide for the Secretary of State to pay the difference to that person, or to the person to whom the compensation payment is made, or partly to one and partly to the other. (3) If— (a) a person has made one or more payments to the Secretary of State under section 6, and (b) in consequence of the review or appeal, it appears that the total amount paid is less than the amount that ought to have been paid, regulations may provide for that person to pay the difference to the Secretary of State. (4) Regulations under this section may provide— (a) for the re-calculation in accordance with section 8 or 8A of the amount of any compensation payment, (b) for giving credit for amounts already paid, and (c) for the payment by any person of any balance or the recovery from any person of any excess, and may provide for any matter by modifying this Act.

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.

Ask what your change would do, who would gain and who would bear a cost, and where something like it is already law. The assistant reads your draft as it stands, cites the law and the studies it finds, and takes no side. What you file stays yours.
