Possibly getting a raise in pounds provided by board (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

liftable

'possibly getting a raise' is the definition.
(able to be lifted or raised)

'pounds provided by board' is the wordplay.
'pounds' becomes 'L' (L can represent the monetary pound).
'provided' becomes 'if' (eg 'provided it's sunny' means 'if it's sunny').
'by' says to put letters next to each other.
'board' becomes 'table' (both can mean food).
'l'+'if'+'table'='LIFTABLE'

'in' is the link.

(Another definition for liftable that I've seen is " Drip, drop; trickle".)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
