Claims everything affected one's gait (11)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

allegations

'claims' is the definition.
(allegation is a kind of claim)

'everything affected one's gait' is the wordplay.
'everything' becomes 'all' (all things).
'affected' indicates an anagram.
'ones'+'gait'='onesgait'
'onesgait' is an anagram of 'egations'.
'all'+'egations'='ALLEGATIONS'

(Another definition for allegations that I've seen is " Accusations".)

I've seen this clue in The Daily Express.
