PA insisted on (anag) - permission to be excused (12)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

dispensation

(Other definitions for dispensation that I've seen before include "Administration (of justice, etc)" , "Exemption (from the usual requirements)" , "immunity?" , "Permission to break a rule" , "Relief" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
