Indeed:

'When you can claim a refund

You can claim a refund for seats you paid to reserve if:

-there is an aircraft change, or your flight has been cancelled and we’re unable to move you to a suitable alternative seat that you’re happy with
-you become unable to meet the Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) safety requirements to sit in an exit row seat and you contact us at least 48 hours before your flight
-you have paid for an upgrade and do not wish to pay the difference in order to reselect your seat in the alternative cabin'
