Has anyone successfully submitted for a partial DLA before?

I spoke with finance and they were only able to speak on behalf of full DLA in regards to PCS/travel. My family had to vacate government housing due to mold throughout the home. What is the method for submitting for a partial DLA? Local finance was only able to identify how you qualify and the rate but not if the forms differ from standard travel DLA.

Military OneSource has a great writeup on this.

https://www.militaryonesource.mil/moving-housing/moving/planning-your-move/military-dislocation-allowance/

as well as the Defense Travel Management Office (DTMO) - https://www.defensetravel.dod.mil/site/faqdla.cfm

AFAIK, you'll submit on the standard DFAS 9114 that you do for DLA (for DLA in advance) or the standard 1351-2 travel voucher.

(reference the JTR at https://www.defensetravel.dod.mil/Docs/perdiem/JTR.pdf, starting on page 5A-22 for partial DLA).

I don't know how you even do this.
