Question Promotion whilst medically downgraded??

Can someone help out please? I've asked my shinies but they haven't got a clue where to start looking to answer the question!

Unfortunately I'm currently a sicky/admin burden type, having been downgraded to G3 status because I've got gammy legs. I did have a series of ops to sort it out, but have now found other problems which were being masked by what I had the operation for.

A medical discharge is not an issue because I'm only air tragic and the leg issue doesn't affect my ability to do my job. I'd be cr*p with or without decent legs.

Anyway, I understand that if I stay as G3 (not something that I'm planning to do) then I can't be offered further service to 55, but does that mean that I can't get promoted as I understand that promotion to SO2 goes hand-in-hand with the offer of further service?

Without wishing to sound like a lawyer I can well understand why I can't get further service to 55, but can they limit my promotion due to, for want of a better word, a disability?

Thanks in anticipation
