Worried of cyberspace asks:

I've just been sacked for being disabled. What can I do?

Caffie answers:

Depends if you want your job back, and if you were dismissed fairly or not. Talk to your employer and either reach an out of court settlement, or discuss reasonable adjustments to your role to get you back at work. If they'd already tried this, and went through a fair process to dismiss you, you'll have less leverage.
