'all the information we need' - paper assessment or form acknowledgement?

Hi,
I got a letter from the DWP saying that they have all the information they need to make a decision and that they will contact me when a decision is made.
When did you get this letter?
Is this the letter sent out to acknowledge they got your form, Or are they doing a paper assessment?
Thanks!

I'm scared of getting my hopes up in case it just means that they are deciding whether I need an f2f or something.

I did manage to get in touch with them today. A PA3 form has been completed so they are going to post it to me.
I am really hoping it suggests a good outcome so I don't have to see anyone in person.
I wasn't expecting a paper review at all.
I am terrified that they will decided that my medical evidence doesn't line up and that's why its on paper. I was nearly sick.
I was missing a very important letter when I sent it. I lost mine and my GP can only find references to it. So I am having to ask a clinic I saw in 2016 for it.
I did send along about 40 pages of evidence which I hope aren't seen to contradict. Including my 18 page autism assessment.
Hopefully it was just to clear up a backlog of cases.
I am so relieved.
I was expecting this to be a long slog. Although I am not sure if I will need to appeal yet.
It only took 12 weeks for me, including a three week extension on the form.

The only frustrating thing is that I didn't getting the mobility component as they decided I didn't have a cognitive problem and aren't overwhelmingly distressed.
However, I knew that the mobility under planning would be a tough draw to get standard.
I believe my evidence did support it but I can see where the confusion came in. I had lost the letter than tested the problem and my GP couldn't find it. They also discounted a number of problems for care for this reason but I still got 13.
I now have a copy from the hospital but it came only days before the decision.
I am a bit annoyed to have lost out over 5 years but I'm not sure it's worth the hassle of appealing, since I was so close to the ER boundary.
As the assessor noted, my documents show I present better than my disability (I believe why it was justified for paper) so I think anyone seeing me would probably harm the case - even though I was honest.
