Question to income/credits in Succession Campaign, Part 1 - Cinderak Burning and Sympathisers.

A few generate money, e.g. Guild of Coin Sympathisers:

##

Boons​

The gang that controls these Sympathisers adds D6x10 credits to its Stash.

##

Question: is this like "income", means it generates income after each battle? Or does it give the money as a one-time payment after earning the Sympathiser?
I ask, because nowhere the term "income" is written, and the usual terretories in other campaign list the bonus as "income" directly.
 
"During the Spark of Rebellion phase only controlled Sympathisers may be claimed as rewards." From goonhammer. So you mean this?
 
Cinderak Burning page 56. "Pre and Post Battle Sequence. The Succession Campaign uses all the standard rules for the pre and Post battle Sequences presented in the Necromunda: Ash Wastes Rulebook" (this translates to the new Core book as well, same sequences and wording if you don't have that book). So the normal battle Sequences apply.
Cinderak Burning page 57 (the sidebar in the dark box) "In a Succession Campaign, players fight over a special kind of Territory called Sympathisers. When playing a Succession Campaign, the two terms can be used interchangeably" (important word for this is interchangeably). Therefore Sympathisers are the same as Territories.
Now step C of the Update roster part of the standard Post battle sequence is the Claim Boons section. At this point you claim the Boons of the Territories you own. (Many of the Sympathisers Boons apply in Pre battle or in the battle but you make the claim for the Boon(s) from the post battle of the previous one).
The Sympathisers bonus thingies are classed as Boons. It specifically uses the plural Boons in the text so both the standard Boon and the Sparks of Rebellion Boon are two Boons granted by the same Territory/Sympathiser.

As the standard Post battle sequence is explicitly stated to be followed Boons are claimed after each battle in the Post battle Update Roster section.
So they are not a one off payment after gain the Sympathiser. You get it it after every battle you retain the Sympathiser.

Regarding the word "income" (or as you point out lack of it) this isn't strictly income grammatically. Income is something you earn for work done i.e a salary for a job you do. Back in old 'munda you had to send your gangers to work the territory to gain money from them. They had day jobs and shooting others was a hobby for them.
The Sympathiser, for example House Ulanti, is an interested party that donates/bribes the gang.
At the end of the day the Gang gets it's cash for both it's "day job" and it's bribe and the credits spend the same.
