What? Can you elaborate a little? Because the Federal Disability Tax Credit is just that, a Tax Credit, it has to be applied against Taxable income.

Of which AISH is not.

If one were to collect AISH and have a DTC, the DTC would do absolutely nothing for that individual's Tax Burden. It could be transferred to a relative or caregiver though.
