So, even if living with relatives nearby, for example, you could still get the £60 a week?
I have wondered why they don't just add this figure to the basic salary during training, but I suspect it's because if it's treated as an expense it can be tax-free, which in turn benefits trainees. It seems this figure hasn't gone up for quite a number of years though.

Yep, makes sense.
