My understanding is such that CEDR do not award Avios. I had the identical involuntary downgrade issue (F to CW) but just back from DXB - outbound was fine. CEDR took 6 months but awarded 1.6p per Avios including the value of the 241 which absolutely DOES have a value. It’s 75% of the Avios per affected leg. You won’t get any of the taxes back as they’re the same for CW as for First. Do not make any claim until after you’ve flown. Good luck.
