If you are an APFT failure due to a medical condition can you get your P status back or do you have to reboard?

I looked into the regulations AR 600-8 and AR 600-20 but they have no guidance on this issue. I am trying to figure this out as I had a PT failure of 10 seconds on my run. I had an MRI scheduled for the end of the month due to training and being in a new unit. I was wondering if being my MRI was scheduled and it came back showing I have a Labral tear if I would be able to get my P status back. Also it’s been over a month and my flag has not been removed since I had a passing APFT.

You still have to have a passing APFT to be promotable

I just reread the question. You'll have to reboard. You became ineligible for promotion with a flag. Also, your flag should be lifted as long as your passing APFT was for record

ultimately, if you were not on profile, you were able to take the PT test, and hence you failed. If you fail an APFT, you have 90 days to take and pass a record. you will be administered a diag apft at the 30 day and 60 day marks unless waived by the commander. You will then need to be reboarded.

If you could prove the failure was due to a medical condition. You are a little vague.
