'benefit coming' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both related to communication as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe they are linked in a way I don't understand?

'from the bottom drawer?' is the wordplay.
'from the bottom' says the letters should be written backwards (in a down clue, letters come from the bottom).
'drawer' written backwards gives 'REWARD'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for reward that I've seen before include "Pay" , "Profit, return" , "payment that's merited" , "Deserved prize" , "Prize; pay-off" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
