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.
