Hello aspirant,

An autoimmune condition called celiac disease is brought on by eating gluten. It is also referred to as gluten-sensitive enteropathy, nontropical sprue, and celiac sprue. A protein found in wheat, barley, rye, and other cereals is called gluten.

Indeed, celiac disease is classified as a PWD. So you can take the benefits of PWD quota in CAT exam.

Thank you

Hope this information helps you.

Yes, celiac disease is considered under PWD. This autoimmune disease is triggered when you consume gluten, if you've been experiencing symptoms for a year or more and it has impacted your ability to work, you may be eligible for Social Security disability (SSDI/SSD) benefits or Supplemental Security Income (SSI) benefits.


Hope this helps,

Thank you
