Soldier gets pay for work. Others may get it without work (7,6)
I believe the answer is:
private income
'work others may get it without work' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this definition defines the answer.
'soldier gets pay' is the wordplay.
'soldier' becomes 'private' (private is a type of soldier).
'gets' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'pay' becomes 'income' (I've seen this in another clue).
'private'+'income'='PRIVATE INCOME'
'for' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Another definition for private income that I've seen is " Money from investments etc".)
