Hi I am going to apply for ILR (DV). do I have to get domestic violence assesment done if ys then from where?

See also Victims of domestic violence.

There is no formal assessment for visa purposes. It is important to provide 'evidence' of the violence in the form of Police and/or medical reports for example.
It is difficult to prove many cases of DV because most happens in private.
If the applicant has been assisted by a refuge or charity this can be of great assistance in the application.
Sadly this is a much abused (no pun intended) route to ILR so it can take a bit of convincing.
My sister-in-law was subject to a MARAC (multi-agency risk assessment conference and classed (quite rightly) as high risk . Her ILR was through in seven days!
If you or anyone is a genuine victim (it does not need to be physical violence) my recommendation would be to get help ASAP. Citizens Advice may be a good start or and organisations such as Womens Aid can help.
It is now possible to claim benefits as a victim of DV before ILR is granted.
The UKBA website does give indicators of the documentation they are looking for. They also can process visas at a great rate of knots where appropriate.

I contacted my MP for assistance in SET(DV) application. response I received from MP is that your application is waiting for security checks and will be declared shortly . but he didnt mention that is it going to be yes or no. but i beleive security check is the last stage for an application to be granted or Decided.

My question is should i do some thing more to straighten the application or I assume that my security check be clear and i will be granted.
