Put wrong standing time on the form was created by Lady_in_bed
I have overestimated my standing ability on my esa50 form, I struggled to decide what to put and in the end I put 1-10 mins but I can't believe I did that as I'm lucky to stand for 2 mins with an aid and thats a massive struggle and in pain so I just don't know why I put that, it must have been the stress of trying to get the form done.

I did think about ringing them or sending a letter to say I'd put it wrong but I don't know if that will make it worse.

How will that affect me?

If you have a look at the descriptors in the ESA claims on Physical Grounds, page 32, you'll see that the relevant tests are for 30 minutes and an hour, so 1-10 minutes is well with these.

However, if you think it important, you can write to your local DWP office with the update (c/o the Decision Maker), and take a copy of the letter with you to your medical, assuming you have one.

Make sure you include your full name and NIN on each page of the letter, and as always with the DWP, send by Recorded Delivery or get a certificate of posting.
