On my last departure from LHR on February 19th (flying VS Metal on VS stock in W) I was told that VS would be integrating IT systems with DL by Q4 2016, and that would be the soonest we could expect to see the use of DL miles for VS upgrades.
Interestingly enough, VS customer service emailed me a few days prior to my departure and offered me a paid upgrade to Upper for <£600, which jumped to >£1200 on day of departure. If you're open to paying for the upgrade, you would do well to call in to Virgin directly.
