What options does a soldier has lost their promotable status and had their curtailment denied due to medical issues?

The Soldier has not participated in a RAPFT since PT3. Their medical issues began postpartum. The Soldier has been placed on orders to a new duty location. Their curtailment has been denied and they probably can't pass a RAPFT currently. The Doc wants to fix the chronic issues, what are their options. This was a super trooper before this began.

Not a great situation. The service member's health is foremost. That being said if its a condition that can't be addressed in a timely manner then a medical discharge is whats in the best interest for both the military and the service member. I feel that the separation should address any service related conditions and medical treatment and VA Compensation should be part of the plan.
The Military's job is to fight and win wars. Is a Service member can't be transferred or perform tasks required of them they need to move on.

An interesting medical issue, if the issue isn't life threating, and curable, by all means let the Doc take care of the issue and hopefully this individual can return to full duty and get the(P) back.
