Distance vector protocols use Bellman-ford algorithm, EIGRP uses the DUAL algorithm. Does this mean EIGRP doens't use Bellman-ford algorithm at all?

    I suppose you can call DUAL an enhanced Bellman-ford algorithm, its working on the same principle with some additional features.So to answer your question, no eigrp doesn't use Bellman-ford algorithm but DUAL does.
    Networking, sometimes i love it, mostly i hate it.Its all about the $$$$
