Yes, that's generally how management at the Board views employees who voice concerns. Take for example, the case of Doug Massey, the president of the union - from ProPublica:

Doug Massey, a union official who works at the Board of Veterans Appeals, complained about a supervisor to Peter O’Rourke, the head of the accountability office. An investigation was launched, Massey said — but it focused on Massey, not the supervisor, and was conducted by an aide to the supervisor Massey had complained about.

This is a common occurrence at the Board. Those who complain about harassment and discrimination are either: set up to fail and fired for poor performance; and/or treated so badly that they resign.

Fortunately for Doug, he's a union official so BVA management can't use "poor performance" as pretext - Doug does not draft decisions. My colleagues who have complained about harassment/discrimination have not been as lucky. They were all canned (either forced to resign or fired).
