Sorry to hear of your condition Ray.
I back up Rodstar's comments. I'd also check your contract very carefully regarding their conditions of employment and dismissal. They are usually pretty standard saying they will abide by relevant state/federal legislation etc.
A visit to a lawyer specialising in unfair dismissals will be worthwhile.
You may even be able to sue them for a range of reasons:
1. Discrimination on basis of medical condition.
2. Unfair dismissal on basis of medical condition.
3. Breach of contract.
I'd personally settle for 12 month pay plus benefits.
Hope that helps.
Bo
