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.

From the link I provided

Each province or territory will establish its own policy regarding whether the CDB will clawback other social assistance programs. The following provinces and territories have announced that there will be no clawbacks:
British Columbia: Persons with Disabilities (PWD)

Manitoba: Manitoba Supports for Persons with Disabilities

New Brunswick: All services under social assistance / Family Supports for Children with Disabilities Program / Disability Support Program / Long Term Care Program

Newfoundland and Labrador: Newfoundland and Labrador income supplement / Newfoundland and Labrador disability amount / Newfoundland and Labrador disability benefit

Nova Scotia: Income Assistance

Nunavut: Income Assistance

Ontario: Ontario Disability Support Program (ODSP) / Ontario Works / Assistance for Children with Severe Disabilities (ACSD)

Prince Edward Island: Assured Income and other social assistance

Quebec: Basic Income Program / Social Solidarity Program

Saskatchewan: Saskatchewan Assured Income for Disability (SAID)

Yukon: Social assistance, including the Yukon Supplementary Allowance

Alberta is currently the only province/territory that has announced that it will be clawing back the CDB. This clawback will be made to payments under the Assured Income for the Severely Handicapped (AISH) program. The Alberta Government has indicated they will require AISH recipients to apply for the Canada Disability Benefit. We are waiting on explicit confirmation of any mandatory timeframe for people to apply, as well as whether those not yet approved for the Disability Tax Credit will be required to apply in order to keep their AISH benefits. We will update this webpage as soon as we have more information to support Albertans receiving AISH.

Plan Institute and our partners at the National Disability Network have sent an open letter to Alberta Premier Danielle Smith and Minister of Seniors, Community and Social Services Jason Nixon, urging them to reconsider their decision. Read the letter here.

The remaining provinces and territories have not yet made their decisions. We will update this section as new information becomes available.

During the 2024 Fall Economic Statement, the federal government called on provinces and territories to ensure the CDB does not result in clawbacks of other benefits and said it would take action to prevent this happening.
