As per PMP Handbook,

Extenuating Circumstances
PMI understands that there are times when personal emergencies may cause you to:
1. Reschedule or cancel your exam within 30 days of the appointment,
or
2. Miss a scheduled exam appointment (resulting in a no-show status).
These are referred to as extenuating circumstances and can include:
? medical emergency,
? military deployment,
? death in immediate family,
? illness in immediate family, or
? Natural disaster.
*Extenuating circumstances do not include work-related circumstances.*
Should a situation like this occur, PMI will examine your situation and take appropriate action.
1. If your circumstance forces you to reschedule or cancel your exam within 30 days of the
appointment:
Go online to the Prometric website as soon as you know you are unable to make your scheduled
appointment and reschedule or cancel your exam. You will be charged the $70 fee; however, you can contact PMI Customer Care with an explanation and supporting documents (e.g., accident
report, medical documentation, etc.) to obtain a refund on the late rescheduling/cancellation fee, if
approved by PMI.
2. If your circumstance forces you to miss your scheduled exam appointment (resulting in a no-show
status):
Please Contact PMI Customer Care within 72 hours following the missed exam
appointment. Depending on the circumstance, you will be asked to provide an explanation along
with supporting documentation (e.g., accident report, medical documentation, etc.) in order for
you to reschedule or cancel your exam without penalty, if approved by PMI.
PMI will review all claims on a case-by-case basis. If your extenuating circumstance claim is not
approved, you will be required to pay the full reexamination fee to sit for the exam.

Why forfeit? If you will lose the fee regardless, why not attempt the exam? You may surprise yourself. At the very least, it is simply part of your preparation to solidify a successful result the 2nd time.

I don't know what the circumstances are, so I'm making assumptions as to the rationale.
