Mine remained open after my BR and I use it to this day.

However, I appear to be an exception rather than the rule and I seemed to have slipped through their nets.

Good precaution.

As has been said, Natwest will normally close the account.

Even if they don't at first, they could suddenly do so a few months down the line.

I know a few people above have managed to keep them, but it is by far the exception rather than the rule.

Hi I had a Nat West Step account and opened a Co Op Cashminder account about 6 months ago in case NW froze it. They haven't, there are just a few pounds in there, I did have a query recently and rang them and they clearly were running my account as normal

I had a Natwest personal current account and a Natwest business account.

They removed me from the business account (it was a limited company) and closed my personal current account. I tried to appeal and was told that they could not keep the personal account open because it was an account which could get credit (even though I had no overdraft on the account). They told me I could open a Step Account but despite trying, it didn't happen. So it's possible that they will let you keep your Step Account as it's not a credit account.
