Moderator broncovet Posted November 21, 2018 Moderator Share Posted November 21, 2018 (edited) Yes, if you need it. It does not matter if its "care by a relative". 38 cfr 3.352 reads, in part: Quote (c)Attendance by relative. The performance of the necessary aid and attendance service by a relative of the beneficiary or other member of his or her household will not prevent the granting of the additional allowance. This is the criteria for "aid and attendance" . With a and a, they wont send a check to your wife, they add it to your compensation. Its around 700 per month. If you are already smc S (you should be), then it will only amount to about 350 extra per month. However there is also the "caregiver act" and I dont know if you are eligible for that.
