Data vegans distributed about benefits (10)
I believe the answer is:
advantages
'benefits' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'data vegans distributed' is the wordplay.
'distributed' is an anagram indicator.
'data'+'vegans'='datavegans'
'datavegans' anagrammed gives 'ADVANTAGES'.
'about' is the link.
(Other definitions for advantages that I've seen before include "profits" , "Benefits" , "Gave a stand (anag.)" .)
