I think you've been the victim of "constructive dismissal" where your employers tried to make life hell so you'd quit and then when that didn't work, just found an excuse. It's never happened to me but I've seen it happen to others, and it's not pretty, but as you say it's difficult and expensive to prove. We have anti-discrimination employment laws here, too, but I imagine they're pretty easy to get around.
Dom,
It's easy to feel like a "victim" when you get dismissed for no apparent reason. I received stellar performance reviews but still got canned. I still do not understand why. Was it my MS? I am sure it had something to do with it because I saw their attitudes change somewhat when they found out. But my attitude wasn't always cheerful, especially on tough days. I have to take some responsibility in what happened. Nonetheless, I still feel that they did not give me any clear warnings or try to discuss my attitude - if that was the problem - with me before taking these measures.
Living with MS isn't easy, especially if co-workers do not support you. Disclosure is not necessary but it can be worthwhile if your employer supports you.
I try to focus on my qualifications but there are some very tough moments where my self-confidence falls to zero. Searching for work in a highly competitive field of finance isn't easy. I pray for the best.
