has suffered complete organic aphonia with constant inability to

of air and bone conduction, or, in the case of a woman veteran,
has suffered the anatomical loss of 25 percent or more of tissue
from a single breast or both breasts in combination (including
loss by mastectomy or partial mastectomy) or has received
radiation treatment of breast tissue, the rate of compensation
therefor shall be $82 per month for each such loss or loss of use
independent of any other compensation provided in subsections (a)
through (j) or subsection (s) of this section but in no event to
exceed $2,785 per month; and in the event the veteran has
suffered one or more of the disabilities heretofore specified in
this subsection, in addition to the requirement for any of the
rates specified in subsections (l) through (n) of this section,
the rate of compensation shall be increased by $82 per month for
each such loss or loss of use, but in no event to exceed $3,907
per month;
(l) if the veteran, as the result of service-connected
disability, has suffered the anatomical loss or loss of use of
both feet, or of one hand and one foot, or is blind in both eyes,

so helpless as to be in need of regular aid and attendance, the
monthly compensation shall be $2,785;
(m) if the veteran, as the result of service-connected
disability, has suffered the anatomical loss or loss of use of

has suffered blindness in both eyes, rendering such veteran so
helpless as to be in need of regular aid and attendance, the
monthly compensation shall be $3,073;
(n) if the veteran, as the result of service-connected
disability, has suffered the anatomical loss or loss of use of
both arms at levels, or with complications, preventing natural
elbow action with prostheses in place, has suffered the
anatomical loss of both legs so near the hip as to prevent the
use of prosthetic appliances, or has suffered the anatomical loss
of one arm and one leg so near the shoulder and hip as to prevent
the use of prosthetic appliances, or has suffered the anatomical
loss of both eyes, or has suffered blindness without light
perception in both eyes, the monthly compensation shall be
$3,496;
(o) if the veteran, as the result of service-connected
disability, has suffered disability under conditions which would
entitle such veteran to two or more of the rates provided in one
or more subsections (l) through (n) of this section, no condition
being considered twice in the determination, or if the veteran
has suffered bilateral deafness (and the hearing impairment in
either one or both ears is service connected) rated at 60 percent
or more disabling and the veteran has also suffered service-
connected total blindness with 5/200 visual acuity or less, or
if the veteran has suffered service-connected total deafness in
one ear or bilateral deafness (and the hearing impairment in
either one or both ears is service connected) rated at 40 percent
or more disabling and the veteran has also suffered service-
connected blindness having only light perception or less, or if
the veteran has suffered the anatomical loss of both arms so near
the shoulder as to prevent the use of prosthetic appliances, the
monthly compensation shall be $3,907;
(p) in the event the veteran's service-connected disabilities
exceed the requirements for any of the rates prescribed in this
section, the Secretary may allow the next higher rate or an
intermediate rate, but in no event in excess of $3,907. In the
event the veteran has suffered service-connected blindness with
5/200 visual acuity or less and (1) has also suffered bilateral
deafness (and the hearing impairment in either one or both ears
is service connected) rated at no less than 30 percent disabling,
the Secretary shall allow the next higher rate, or (2) has also
suffered service-connected total deafness in one ear or service-
connected anatomical loss or loss of use of one hand or one
foot, the Secretary shall allow the next intermediate rate, but
in no event in excess of $3,907. In the event the veteran has
suffered service-connected blindness, having only light
perception or less, and has also suffered bilateral deafness (and
the hearing impairment in either one or both ears is service
connected) rated at 10 or 20 percent disabling, the Secretary
shall allow the next intermediate rate, but in no event in excess
of $3,907. In the event the veteran has suffered the anatomical
loss or loss of use, or a combination of anatomical loss and loss
of use, of three extremities, the Secretary shall allow the next
higher rate or intermediate rate, but in no event in excess of
$3,907. Any intermediate rate under this subsection shall be
established at the arithmetic mean, rounded down to the nearest
dollar, between the two rates concerned;
[(q) Repealed. Pub. L. 90-493, Sec. 4(a), Aug. 19, 1968, 82
Stat. 809.]
(r) Subject to section 5503(c) of this title, if any veteran,
otherwise entitled to compensation authorized under subsection
(o) of this section, at the maximum rate authorized under
subsection (p) of this section, or at the intermediate rate
authorized between the rates authorized under subsections (n) and
(o) of this section and at the rate authorized under subsection
(k) of this section, is in need of regular aid and attendance,
then, in addition to such compensation -
(1) the veteran shall be paid a monthly aid and attendance
allowance at the rate of $1,677; or
(2) if the veteran, in addition to such need for regular aid
and attendance, is in need of a higher level of care, such
veteran shall be paid a monthly aid and attendance allowance at
the rate of $2,497, in lieu of the allowance authorized in
clause (1) of this subsection, if the Secretary finds that the
veteran, in the absence of the provision of such care, would
require hospitalization, nursing home care, or other
residential institutional care.
For the purposes of clause (2) of this subsection, need for a
higher level of care shall be considered to be need for personal
health-care services provided on a daily basis in the veteran's
home by a person who is licensed to provide such services or who
provides such services under the regular supervision of a
licensed health-care professional. The existence of the need for
such care shall be determined by a physician employed by the
Department or, in areas where no such physician is available, by
a physician carrying out such function under contract or fee
arrangement based on an examination by such physician. For the
purposes of section 1134 of this title, such allowance shall be
considered as additional compensation payable for disability.
(s) If the veteran has a service-connected disability rated as
total, and (1) has additional service-connected disability or
disabilities independently ratable at 60 percent or more, or, (2)
by reason of such veteran's service-connected disability or
disabilities, is permanently housebound, then the monthly
compensation shall be $2,506. For the purpose of this subsection,
the requirement of "permanently housebound" will be considered to
have been met when the veteran is substantially confined to such
veteran's house (ward or clinical areas, if institutionalized) or
immediate premises due to a service-connected disability or
disabilities which it is reasonably certain will remain
throughout such veteran's lifetime.
