That could depend on the circumstances. If you had not told them you have it and this had an impact on your employment, then they may well be within their rights to fire you. If they fire you just for having epilepsy and it has no impact on your work, then they may be open to charges of discriminating against you and you could have a case of unfair dismissal.
