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.
Change 1
8A Reduction of payment under Diffuse Mesothelioma Payment Scheme
(1) This section applies instead of section 8 in a case where the compensation payment is a payment under the Diffuse Mesothelioma Payment Scheme. (2) The gross amount of the compensation payment— (a) is to be reduced by the amount of the recoverable benefit, and (b) accordingly, is to be reduced to nil in any case where the amount of the recoverable benefit is equal to or greater than the gross amount of the compensation payment. (3) Any claim of a person to receive the compensation payment is to be treated for all purposes as discharged if— (a) the person is paid the gross amount of the compensation payment less the amount of the recoverable benefit, or (b) the amount of the recoverable benefit is equal to or greater than the gross amount of the compensation payment and the person is given a statement by the scheme administrator saying that the compensation payment has been reduced to nil.

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.
