Recompensed for service (8)
I believe the answer is:
rewarded
'recompensed for service' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
This is the entire clue.
(Other definitions for rewarded that I've seen before include "Compensated" , "Offered someting for a service or achievement" , "profiting by it" , "Given something in recognition of effort" , "Honoured" .)
