Would going back to work stop UC WCA?

I’m in Scotland and I currently get UC and PIP (daily enhanced). 
I’ve been signed off work since the beginning of November and had the UC50 form filled out and sent back so now just waiting for the capability assessment. 
I’d like to go back to work soon though but would the assessment be stopped if I did so? I would only be going back for one shift a week at 4 hours and would gradually build up to 16 hours a week again. 
Thanks everyone

    No, even if you earn 16xNMW because you're currently receiving PIP. However, if the work you do contradicts the reasons why you're sending in fit notes then it can go against you.
