There is an official form you can send to your credit company to claim back for your dropped credit score. An example can be seen here, although each provider will have their own version.

The government are guaranteeing support until the end of December, but are discussing plans to extend until end of March 2020.
Should you need any help in acquiring the form from your insurers or are finding it difficult to get in touch with them members are asked to contact Graham Walsh (Graham.Walsh@abi.org.uk) and Ben Leich (Benjamin.Leich@beis.gov.uk) with details of the refusals or pushback that you're receiving from insurance providers.
