Crossword Genius

He gets allowance (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

grant

I believe this is a double definition.

'he' is the first definition.

'allowance' is the second definition.
(both can mean money given to someone)

'gets' is the link.

(Other definitions for grant that I've seen before include "US president" , "Concede, like an American general" , "support for education" , "Monetary aid" , "Formally give (a right)" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror.
