(c) Except as hereafter provided, such claim of manifest error or mistake must be made in writing by the candidate within one month from the date of notice to the candidate of the results of such examination, tests, subjects or parts thereof.

(d) Whenever a claim of manifest error or mistake is made in connection with the rejection of a candidate because the candidate has failed to meet the preliminary requirements of such examination, such claim must be made in writing by the candidate within two weeks following the date upon which notice was transmitted to the candidate of such rejection.

(e) Whenever a claim of manifest error or mistake is made by a person on an eligible list who has been rejected after investigation because such person has failed to meet the preliminary requirements of such examination, such claim must be made in writing by the person within two weeks following the date upon which notice was transmitted to the person of such rejection.

(f) Any correction of manifest error or mistake shall be without prejudice to the status of any person previously appointed from the eligible list resulting from such examination. However, if, as a result of any correction of manifest error or mistake, an eligible on a list or any person appointed from such list is found to have failed the examination, any such eligibility or appointment shall be cancelled and revoked forthwith, and notice of such action shall be sent to the eligible or appointee.
