So you already have gone through the process of applying and receiving the LDP?  Then yes, you should be able to drive for the limited purpose of work.  But remember that standard hours for limited driving privileges are from 6 AM until 8 PM from Monday through Friday.  If you need to drive for work or school outside of those hours you will need a letter from your employer or a class schedule from school specifying exactly why you need to drive and when.
