The veteran's claim for TDIU was denied in July 1992 due to lack of evidence showing an increase in disability during the one year period preceding March 22, 2003. The RO found that no new and material evidence had been submitted.

The deciding factor: No increase in disability resulting in unemployability was shown within a year prior to the filing of the claim on March 22, 2003.
