Disability Category Field Not Required For Canada and Colombia

Hi Team, we have a requirement to hide the Disability Category field for Canada and Colombia countries. I have hidden the fields through page composer customizations. However, after publishing the Sandbox and testing the transaction, the 'Category' field is not visible on the screen and the system not allowing me to Submit the transaction either. It is throwing an error 'The disability category doesn't exist. (PER-1530147)'.

Is it not possible to hide the category field? Because for Canada and Colombia, we don't ask for category details, and hence to avoid confusion we want to hide the field from disability info screen permanently.
