There are 2 separate issues.
If you are on a rehab plan that involves light duties, then you can't do overtime.

If you have a duty that has been adapted to your needs under the Equality Act, then as long as the overtime is not detrimental to your health, there is no reason why you shouldn't do it.
However if for example your "reasonable adjustment" was no steep hills, and you signed for overtime that involved steep hills, you would either have to be stupid or playing the system.
If you did steep hills on overtime, then the original reasonable adjustment would need to be looked at again.
The societies of consumption and squandering of material resources are incompatible with the idea of economic growth and a clean planet.
