Charged for being ill in bed (6)
I believe the answer is:
billed
'charged' is the definition.
('bill' can be a synonym of 'charge')
'ill in bed' is the wordplay.
'in' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'ill' put into 'bed' is 'BILLED'.
'for being' acts as a link.
(Other definitions for billed that I've seen before include "Listed in a programme; charged" , "Sent an invoice" , "Caressed" , "Advertised" .)
