(a) The Secretary of Labor may pay an employee who has been awarded
compensation an additional sum of not more than $1,500 a month, as the
Secretary considers necessary, when the Secretary finds that the service
of an attendant is necessary constantly because the employee is totally
blind, or has lost the use of both hands or both feet, or is paralyzed and
unable to walk, or because of other disability resulting from the injury
making him so helpless as to require constant attendance.
(b) The Secretary may pay an individual undergoing vocational
rehabilitation under section 8104 of this title additional compensation
necessary for his maintenance, but not to exceed $200 a month.
