After several tests I have to admit that it does, but when? The help is more visible on less competitive keywords, while on the more competitive ones the improvement is almost invisible. How ever meta description if it helps on search engine rankings or not is up to judge on the person individually, but another important role that meta description plays is the click through rate. If you just stop for a second and analyze how you act in the SERPs you will figure out that you would rather click on a listing in the SERPs that have a descriptive and intriguing meta description over a one with poor written meta description.

I would do it now and see if that doesn't help your SERP after you're crawled again. The only time changing those can hurt your site is if it's already doing well in the SERPs - then it's best to leave it alone.

Once your site starts ranking well, though, it's time to leave the meta data alone. Updating your site by adding content will definitely help.
