My understanding is you get trip guarantee of 10.5 + 1.5 disruption for loss of DH and 1.5 disruption pay for loss of layover for 13.5 hours credit.

Or do they add the 1.5 X2 (disruption) to the 6 hours = 9 hours and they just pay the trip guarantee of 10.5 because it is more?

And yes I just read the contract.
Will call DT on Monday.

This is a trip that is in SWP status.
Short answer:

if you hold trip guarantee, which the SWP code usually does, you will get 10.5 PLUS any qualifying disruptions. The layover disruption is MORE than 50% of the layovers changed, losing 1 does not make it more than 50%. The D/H loss should pay, you will most likely need to fill out a pay log to get the disruption pay.

Note: The following formula is used for determining layover
changes.
Determining whether more than 50% of the layovers have
changed (for purposes of Section 25.S.) will be determined
in accordance with the following methodology:
1. y = number of scheduled layovers when the pairing
was awarded/assigned to the pilot.
2. x = number of scheduled layover locations that can
not be paired with actual layover locations (matching
location only, not date or time).
3. If the trip is shortened, layovers that were scheduled
to occur after the actual end of the trip are counted
as if they occurred as scheduled.
4. Layovers that were scheduled to occur during a
standby sequence are counted as if they occurred
as scheduled, regardless of how the trip actually
operates.
5. If x/y > 50%, then a disruption occurs.
