Dislocation Allowance (DLA) is intended to offset which costs?

• A. Relocation costs
• B. Combat hazard expenses
• C. Education expenses
• D. Medical expenses

Answer: (A)

Dislocation Allowance focuses on the financial burden of moving to a new duty station. It’s meant to offset the extra costs that come with relocating a household—things like moving and storing belongings, temporary lodging, and other relocation-related expenses tied to a permanent change of station. It isn’t for combat-related hazards, education, or medical costs, which are covered by other programs.
