BTWEA doesnt appear to be a qualifying payment for BTWFD.

From welfare.ie/en/Pages/BTWFD.aspx

"You can combine time on a jobseeker’s payment with time spent on education, training or employment schemes to meet the eligibility requirements."

BTWEA is considered an employment scheme. You should be eligible.

You are not entitled to BTWFD after BTWEA . When you are on BTWEA you are treated as employed, it is not a scheme .
