London Marathon deferrals and GFA place

I have a GFA place for this year's London Marathon but can't run as I picked up an injury a few months ago. image According to the instructions, if I withdraw they then send me an email back and I am guaranteed a place for 2015 (if I pay again).

However presumably if I then get injured again (I'm not usually a pessimist!), I can't then defer again to 2016 as I'm pretty sure you can only defer once. So given that I need to pay again anyway, would I be better off just withdrawing and not deferring? That way I can apply for a GFA place for 2015 (as my GFA time was from April 2013) from scratch and should be able to defer to 2016 if injured again. That seems to be the better option - only risk is if they make the GFA times faster (but mine is 20 mins faster than the target so should be OK) or ditch GFA altogether. Am I missing anything here?!
