How to code when a variable has been vectorized and has different values in a for loop

I would like to code the earnings of a household which consists of a retired parent and a child. The parent faces health and survival risk. Parent receives social security payment SS if alive. If parent is not healthy, the child needs to take care of the parent. There is a time cost xi if the parent is not healthy since when taking care of the parent, the child cannot work. Assume the household lives for 7 periods, and the probability of being alive and healthy is different in each period. The code is something as follows

%setup
d=[0;1];%d=0 parent has died, d=1 parent is alive 
h=[0;1]; %h=0 parent is health, h=1 parent needs long-term care
A=(0:0.05:100)'; %grid of asset which is used for a follow-up anaysis not relevant for this question

 Nd_grid=length(d);
 Nh_grid=length(h);
 N_grid =length(A); 
 
 Aind = 1:N_grid; 
 Hind=1:Nh_grid;
 Dind=1:Nd_grid;
 
 [AIND,HIND,DIND] = ndgrid(Aind,Hind,Dind); 
 
 %code for household earnings
  e=zeros(N_grid*Nh_grid*Nd_grid,1);
   for t=1:7 
         e(:,t)=w(t).*(1-xi.*h(HIND(:))).*(1-tau_l-tau_ss)+d(DIND(:)).*SS; %w is the wage rate at time t, xi is the time cost of taking care of the parent,tau_l and tau_ss are the taxes
   end

My question is , when parent dies, there will be no time cost for taking care of the parent. But this cannot be done by my code above. I tried to code as follows, but it returns an error of "Index exceeds the number of array elements (1)." I think this is because I have vectorized d, so the dimension is different, but I don't know how I should code. Thank you!

for t=1:7 
    for d=0 
        e(:,t)=w(t)*(1-tau_l-tau_ss)+d(DIND(:)).*(0.3*SS); %w is the wage rate, when d=0 parent has died so no care cost for the child
    end
        for d=1
            e(:,t)=w(t).*(1-xi.*h(HIND(:))).*(1-tau_l-tau_ss)+d(DIND(:)).*SS; %xi is the time cost of taking care of the parent
    end
end

1. You need to define either 1 value (1x1) for d or 7 values (1x7 i.e.equal to you for loop iteration) and index it with each iteration like you are indexing w(t).
2. use if else instead of for d=0 & d=1 i.e

(if d==0) %for vecotr d of size equal to for loop iterations put if(d(t)==0)
% %  do this 
else 
% %  do that
end

Thank you Mehmed, I tried the if else command, it went through.
