Abstract: We prove the central limit theorem (CLT) for a sequence of independent zero-mean random variables $x{i}_j$, perturbed by predictable multiplicative factors $lambd{a}_j$ with values in intervals $[underlinelambd{a}_j,overlinelambd{a}_j]$. It is assumed that the sequences $underlinelambd{a}_j$, $overlinelambd{a}_j$ are bounded and satisfy some stabilization condition. Under the classical Lindeberg condition we show that the CLT limit, corresponding to a "worst" sequence $lambd{a}_j$, is described by the solution $v$ of one-dimensional $G$-heat equation. The main part of the proof follows Peng's approach to the CLT under sublinear expectations, and utilizes H"{o}lder regularity properties of $v$. Under the lack of such properties, we use the technique of half-relaxed limits from the theory of viscosity solutions.
