Get back about demand for payment (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

reclaim

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'get back' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'demand for payment' is the wordplay.
'demand' becomes 'claim' (claiming is a kind of demanding).
'for' means one lot of letters go next to another (I've seen this in other clues).
'payment' becomes 're' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'claim' put after 're' is 'RECLAIM'.

'about' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for reclaim that I've seen before include "Recover (materials/land) for subsequent use" , "I'm Clare (anag)" , "Make (land) available for use" , "Win back" , "Retrieve, recover" .)
