Following is a response from Senior DHS Stata Specialist, Tom Pullum:

The weight variable in an IR, KR, or BR file is v005. We adjust for clustering (dependency) by the PSU or cluster, which is v001 or v021. (They are almost always the same.) We do not adjust for clustering at the household or maternal level. If you want to try, you can, of course, but in a multi-level model that includes clustering at the PSU level.

We (the DHS analysis staff) do not support SAS (we mostly use Stata). For specifically SAS questions you must hope for replies from other forum users.
