Crossword Genius

Given care, treated for complaint (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

grievance

'complaint' is the definition.
(grievance is a kind of complaint)

'given care treated' is the wordplay.
'treated' is an anagram indicator.
'given'+'care'='givencare'
'givencare' is an anagram of 'GRIEVANCE'.

'for' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for grievance that I've seen before include "beef" , "Item causing resentment" , "Bad feeling" , "gripe" , "Complaint" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
