Didn't know I had more room so I think I summed up all the basics. I'm disabled and have been for about 15 years.I started getting Social Security Disability about 12 years ago.My boyfriend and I have lived together for about 23 years. Since I became disabled he's covered my every expense that my disability check can't every month which is about 65% of my bill's,support, etc. He's never claimed me before. Can he claim me and if he can can he claim me for past years that he didn't but he could have?

Yes, it sounds like he may be able to claim you based on the information you provided. Here is a little more information to help you decide if your situation meets all the criteria:
If all of the following apply then yes, your boyfriend could claim you as a dependent on his return. The rules for claiming a non-relative as your dependent are as follows:
The easiest way to determine if he can claim you as a dependent is to enter you into TurboTax as a dependent and answer the questions and TurboTax will determine if he can claim you.
He can go back and Amend Your Return to claim you on his past returns. "Generally, you must file Form 1040X within three years from the date you filed your original tax return or within two years of the date you paid the tax, whichever is later."https://www.irs.gov/newsroom/ten-facts-on-filing-an-amended-tax-return
