EUA vs Handicap seat selection

Should I reselect seats to another row? Any ideas? Thanks
I reselected one of the 5A seats to 6A and was eua'ed 2 days out. ^ The other 5A seat was not EUA'ed at the 24hr go. I called NW Elite Svcs to inquire about this as the flt now showed only 3 seats left! Was told by agt that since I had selected handicap seating, I was not on W/L!!! OLCI still did not offer F/C seat! Got to gate and was told all Elites had been EUA'ed and I was not on W/L which was 6 people long. Gate agent had no idea why I as a PLT had not been upgraded or was not on list. She called a Supervisor who was at a nearby gate and he came over to speak to me. He also told me that since I had selected a Handicap seat 5A, I fell out of the EUA sequence, but he Upgraded me on the spot, apoligized and gave me 2 "International WBC Service Recovery Packs" Lesson learned: never select a handicap designated seat in the future
