Hi, my name is LixyLou! Does this message mean I don't need a face to face assessment?

Hi all, and hope you are all doing OK x
I'm not big on branching out and get overwhelmed with having to answer to people, but I have a question x i have received this today from DWP:
 We've received the written report of your PIP assessment. We will write to you once we've made a decision on your PIP. As a guide you should hear from us within 8 weeks. You don't need to contact us unless any of the details you gave us have changed. Thank you.

    Yes it means an assessment is not needed because a paper based assessment has been completed. A decision can now take anything up to about 12 weeks.
