My father is a super senior citizen and also a tax payer as he receives family pension. His medical expenditure is not covered under any insurance and the expenditure is quite high. Part of his medical expenditure is claimed under 80D in his tax return. However there is still a balance medical expenditure amount that is not claimed. As his daughter can I claim the deduction in my tax return? Please advice.

Thanks.
