Propose a change

The Armed Forces Early Departure Payments Scheme 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.

22 Effect of rejoining the armed forces having received a lump sum award for incapacity for armed forces service

(1) Subject to paragraph (2), where a person is accepted for re-entry to the armed forces that person is to retain any previous lump sum paid under regulation 19 (lump sum awards: incapacity for armed forces service). (2) On rejoining the regular forces a person must repay any unexpired part of the lump sum. (3) In paragraph (2) ‘unexpired part’ is to be determined by applying the following formula— (1−(A÷B))× lump sum received where— A is the period in years and complete months since the person ceased to be in regular service; and B is the amount of lump sum awarded multiplied by 8 and then divided by the person’s final pensionable earnings as used to calculate the lump sum award. (4) If a person becomes entitled to a subsequent payment under regulation 19, only that period of service from the point at which the person rejoined the armed forces is to be used for the purpose of calculating the amount of the lump sum under regulation 19.

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.

Think it through

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.
