Orders for this month's disturbances? (12)
I believe the answer is:
instructions
'orders' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'this month's disturbances?' is the wordplay.
'this month' becomes 'inst' (letter-writing abbreviation for this month).
'disturbances?' becomes 'ructions' (ruction is a kind of disturbance).
'inst'+'ructions'='INSTRUCTIONS'
'for' acts as a link.
(Other definitions for instructions that I've seen before include "Directions, orders" , "Directions; commands" .)
