Improves compensation (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

amends

I believe this clue is a double definition.

'improves' is the first definition.
('amend' can be a synonym of 'improve')

'compensation' is the second definition.
(amends is a kind of compensation)

(Other definitions for amends that I've seen before include "Redress" , "Compensation" , "Makes minor improvements" , "Make these to atone for wrong done" , "Fixes" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph and The Globe and Mail.
