Crossword Genius

Claim benefit (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

interest

This clue is a double definition.

'claim' is the first definition.
(thesaurus)

'benefit' is the second definition.
(interest is a kind of benefit)

(Other definitions for interest that I've seen before include "Condition of curiosity about amount paid for use of money" , "Hobby" , "Share in an undertaking" , "Benefit" , "Significance" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
