Social Security Act 1998
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.

25 Decisions involving issues that arise on appeal in other cases
(1) This section applies where— (a) a decision by the Secretary of State falls to be made under section 8, 9 or 10 above in relation to a particular case; and (b) an appeal is pending against the decision given in another case by the Upper Tribunal or a court (whether or not the two cases concern the same benefit). (2) In a case relating to a relevant benefit, the Secretary of State need not make the decision while the appeal is pending if he considers it possible that the result of the appeal will be such that, if it were already determined, there would be no entitlement to benefit. (3) If the Secretary of State considers it possible that the result of the appeal will be such that, if it were already determined, it would affect the decision in some other way— (a) he need not, except in such cases or circumstances as may be prescribed, make the decision while the appeal is pending; (b) he may, in such cases or circumstances as may be prescribed, make the decision on such basis as may be prescribed. (4) Where the Secretary of State acts in accordance with subsection (3)(b) above, following the determination of the appeal he shall if appropriate revise his decision (under section 9 above) in accordance with that determination. (5) For the purposes of this section, an appeal against a decision is pending if— (a) an appeal against the decision has been brought but not determined; (b) an application for leave to appeal against the decision has been made but not determined; or (c) in such circumstances as may be prescribed, an appeal against the decision has not been brought (or, as the case may be, an application for leave to appeal against the decision has not been made) but the time for doing so has not yet expired. (6) In paragraphs (a), (b) and (c) of subsection (5) above, any reference to an appeal, or an application for leave to appeal, against a decision includes a reference to— (a) an application for, or for leave to apply for, judicial review of the decision under section 31 of the Supreme Court Act 1981; or (b) an application to the supervisory jurisdiction of the Court of Session in respect of the decision.

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.
