Hello. Is celiac disease on the disability list? Is it calculated in the disability rate in early retirement? Thank you.

I was newly diagnosed with celiac. It's a very disturbing situation. I hope he's on the list for retirement 😔

Hakanx,  If you have the type of Celiac with Dermatitis Herpetiformis and can't take dapsone as well as breaking out from skin or gut contact your Dermatologist can sign off on a disability.   It is a legit SS disability as well as some employer/induvial disability plans

We've done a couple or articles on this topic, both are fairly old so it is possible that things have changed, but the article comments may also be helpful:

I understand how you feel. I have Rheumatoid Arthritis and have struggled for many years with severe pain, inflammation etc, everything you said is true and its not something you can just push through, believe me, I've tried!!! It's also very difficult when you have family members or friends that don't believe Celiac is a real thing. Just know, there are people who understand. The financial burden is also real, I'm looking for help navigating that path myself. I will gladly share with you and post any info I find.
