Removal of older person’s allowance after suspicion (10)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

suspension

'removal' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'older person's allowance after suspicion' is the wordplay.
'older person's allowance' becomes 'pension' (old age pension).
'after' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'suspicion' becomes 'sus' (I've seen this in other clues).
'pension' put after 'sus' is 'SUSPENSION'.

'of' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for suspension that I've seen before include "Discord" , "delay" , "Ride-smoothing system" , "Car ride smoother" , "Car's shock-absorbing system" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
