Beneficiary making price change - one to ten - awful (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

recipient

'beneficiary' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'price change one to ten awful' is the wordplay.
'change' indicates an anagram.
'one' becomes 'i' (Roman numeral).
'to' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'awful' indicates an anagram.
'price' is an anagram of 'recip'.
'ten' with letters rearranged gives 'ent'.
'recip'+'i'+'ent'='RECIPIENT'

'making' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for recipient that I've seen before include "One who's given" , "Person who gets" , "relatively unblessed type" , "who gets the goods" , "One taking delivery" .)

I've seen this clue in The Daily Express.
