No DTC, no CDB, regardless of residency.
And I'm actually all for income testing it. With the loosening of regulations on the DTC I have clients who have been approved for all kinds of things both minor and major and are still perfectly capable of working and making a very good living.
That being said, I'd prefer income testing to be on a sliding scale, ie. if you're living off of AISH and that alone, maybe you should get more than $200/mo and if you're collecting AISH and working, maybe less.

You might want to read what I wrote again, and if you still don't get it, go do some more looking. The clawback is absolutely an Alberta specific thing, unless other provinces have caught on too.
But yes, you need to qualify for the DTC, but qualifying for the DTC doesn't not guarantee the payment.
