Yes, there's no reason you can't claim these deductions.

In 2015 we paid almost $ 34,000 to our mortgage company to save our home. We both had very serious health problems and almost lost everything we had. Even had to file bankruptcy. We are doing much better now, thank God. Can we still use all of the intrest from that large amount, and is it possible to get a refund.

Unless you have had tax withheld from your disability income, there is nothing from which to provide a refund, even if you enter deductions like mortgage interest, etc. on a tax return.  If you have had other income with tax withheld, then you might benefit from entering your deductions.
