Hi Pretender, Does this mean all coeliacs are 30% disabled. I was wondering if one could claim disability for this condition as it's been a real big problem for me over the years, plus I do have the skin condition that goes with coeliacs disease. I've now got a condition called DISH in my spin for which the consultant has said has been caused through my gluten free diet.

The 30% disability is the result of an Industrial Injury not because of the coeliac disease, The comment re impaired abdominal function is from a First-Tier Appeal Tribunal for the injury. It is not known why Coeliac Disease is triggered and is assumed that some bodily trauma may be the cause. What is DISH? and how is it connected to CD.
