If you have damp in the area then I suggest the problem is actually at the base of the wall more than the floor. Floors usually delaminate in areas of high usage, ie, in front of the door and in the kitchen area. To go on an area that doesn't get walked on is almost unknown. Damp will have rotted the frame at the foot of the wall so the floor has nothing to attach to. I suggest you start removing the wallboard to investigate further.
The damp needs to be cured or it will spread, there is no point in reattaching the floor to a damp wall. You also need to find the source of the damp and don't simply replace the damaged timbers without being confident you cured the leak.
I had a leak through the rail at the front of my Avondale above the window where the roof panel joins the front panel. I repaired the rotten timber and replaced the window seal thinking that was the cause but a year later ended up doing it all again because I hadn't correctly identified the source of the leak.
