Invalidity pension

I am nearly two years claiming IB am therefore in the process of applying for IP. However my doctor wants to put on the form that i would be fit to take up part-time rehablitation work. Will this affect my claim for IP?

People on IP are allowed do rehabilitative work.

Invalidity Pension and work

You may be allowed to do rehabilitative work (up to a maximum 20 hours per week) and keep your Invalidity Pension. You must get written approval from the Department of Social Protection before you start work. The Department decides if the work is rehabilitative.

This is a hard one to call when only making a claim for IP I'm not sure I would like the word 'work' mentioned at all at this stage but may make no difference.
