That's not entirely accurate.
The Sovereign Grant Act states that, where the Duchy of Cornwall is vested in Her Majesty, the Treasury is to pay a grant to any person who is the heir to the throne in the relevant period. That is really no different to the provisions made for previous heirs to the Throne who were not Dukes of Cornwall. However, nowhere does it say that the entire income of the Duchy will be automatically paid to the heir, if not the current Duke of Cornwall.
