You can try, but most HA's now insist that you have to be eligible, by their criteria, for the property you are exchanging to, although some take a more relaxed view if you are already in a property that's technically above your 'needs'.
Unless you have health grounds to need a two bed (carer's need to stay overnight sometimes), or you have children or a close relative that needs to stay with you at times, you may have a problem.
Nothing to lose by trying, though.

You can tell a lot about a woman by her hands..........for instance, if they are placed around your throat, she's probably slightly upset.
