The change he wants is actually the exact same thing as what he wanted to do with tax credits, except it would be done to universal credit instead of tax credits.

Remember universal credit merges all the benefits together, and what IDS wants is for work to be more rewarding than been unemployed, so basically GO proposed to cut the tax credit equivalent in UC as people wouldnt notice until its too late.

Really GO should just back down and accept the cuts to be missing, he already has said they not needed to reach their deficit targets which must mean they only been done for ideology purposes. If IDS gets his own way then we will likely see these cuts fall on some other part of the DWP.
