I have already contacted them and they aren't sure, but would this mean if the letter is not supportive to my claim would the decision maker decide or would I have to have a face to face first.

I'm afraid any answer we could give would be nothing more than a random guess!

So basically you can be found fit for work without a face to face assessment.

You CANNOT be found fit for work without having attended a face to face assessment.

I'm sorry but I really do not know how to make this any clearer
You CANNOT be found Fit for Work unless you have attended a Face to face Assessment.
The DM can refer you back to HAAS for them to carry out a F2F, but if they do not then they cannot find you fit for work.
