    If it was the arrest that got me the rejection. Is there any chance for me to appeal the rejection on the grounds of I didn't think the arrest was on my record and therefore didnt think I needed to disclose it?

    Well if it was the arrest/caution/whatever that got you rejected then its likely to be your initial failure to disclose it that caused the issue. Admitting it right now seems unlikely to help in that case - from their point of view you've already been caught being dishonest.

    I managed to get EPV clearance in the forces with two convictions (breach of the peace and affray), but I did declare them when I joined, and I did get a hell of a roasting from a LE commission Royal Military Police captain before signing my life away.
