Is Dislocation Allowance no longer given when PCSing if you have a GTCC? If so how do you pay for stuff you can't use the GTCC for?

If you have a GTCC, you can no longer get advance DLA. You'll get your DLA when you process into your new duty station.

This has been the plan for a while. I had a PCS last year in October and while my GTCC was turned on I did not use it. It's not being enforced.

DLA is paid if you are entitled to it, that entitlement has nothing to do with a GTCC, as Guy Butler mentioned getting an advance is harder with a GTCC. http://www.defensetravel.dod.mil/site/faqdla.cfm
