It helps if you have a weak core, but also it think its a good idea like Ryan said, whether your back is sore from previous nights DL or to save it for squats the next day or something
I like the belt for compensating for the stress of catching the bar as it comes down. Often, having 200 pounds come crashing down on your clavicles puts an uncomfortable pressure on the lower back as you lean to cushion the blow.

does a belt really help for press? how many pounds does it add for you?
It helps stabilize my lower back after the previous deadlift/assistance night. It just made my overhead slightly harder to work with.
