Today, I was made redundant becuase of a long term illness. I had made thousands of pounds for the company and helped them when they were struggling for money... they thanked me with a £50 cheque. FML

You can't be made redundant because of a long term illness, it would have to be a legitimate redundancy I.e. Your role isn't needed any more. You have grounds for discrimination at a tribunal otherwise. They could however agree a settlement figure with you to go away which is usually what happens in this situation as it is risk averse for the business. If you are 'replaced' within a reasonable time frame (I believe 3 months, not 100%) then the role would not be classed as redundant
