Ah. I think I understand now. The AISH recipients would be paid the same amount overall as the Government wants to 'yoink' the additional $2400 that comes out of the Provincial pocket.

Its like when Disability insurance companies try and get clients onto Canada Pension Disability payments. The client receives the same amount of money in the end but less of it has to come from the Insurance company.

So instead of getting a supplement they'd just get the same as always.

What incentive does that give people who havent applied for the DTC (which, if they're on AISH they probably already have) to then go out and do it? That doesnt make any sense.

"Here is some cost and hassle for nothing."

Albeit, that is still pretty stupid.
