Oliver Hides takes your calls on Waspi, migraines and puzzles.

The Phone In

Available for 8 days

Women affected by changes to the state pension age have reacted with fury after ministers have again rejected their claim for compensation. The Women Against State Pension Inequality (Waspi) group said the latest decision demonstrated "utter contempt" for those affected. Campaigners say 3.6 million women born in the 1950s were not properly informed of the rise in their state pension age, which brought it into line with men. The Government reconsidered the case after a new document came to light, but has again concluded no compensation should be paid. What do you make of the Government’s decision? We’re also taking your calls on migraines. It’s a neurological condition which impacts more than 1.2 billion people worldwide, and is the second most prevalent cause of disability. But according to medical experts it remains a poorly understood disorder. If you, or a loved one, suffer from migraines, then let us know. And do you love a puzzle? The Royal Mint has launched a new one, dubbed 'The Great British Treasure Hunt'. The game involves a brand new £5 coin, featuring numbers, letters and symbols, which help to unlock five levels of riddles and puzzles. And the winner will receive a 250g solid gold bar, which is said to be valued at around £28,000. Call or WhatsApp 03700 100 110, or Text 8 10 12. Be part of the nations' conversation.
