Proving disability with no health insurance
We don't specialize in advising regarding the disability process, but we'll try to add what we can.
If you have the medical test results from 10 years ago that may help. Refer to the Disability Benefits Checklist to help determine what you'll need.

It's also possible a third party (typically a lawyer) may take up your case on a contingency basis. This means no up-front costs to you, but the lawyer will get a portion of any money which is later awarded to you.
Obviously, shop around if you decide to go this route.
