Is there a benefit to playing on a higher difficulty Skyrim?

Leveling up in Skyrim works when one of your perks also levelled up. As you increases your difficulty, the enemies will have higher durability (HP and defense). This means you need to swing your axes more, shot more arrows, cast more spells and so forth in order to bring them down.

Does difficulty in Skyrim affect loot?

The short answer is that changing your difficulty setting doesn't affect your loot from each machine drop. Playing with more players and the difficulty scaling with those players also will not affect each machine's chance of giving you more loot. However, on higher difficulties the chance of spawning a Rival is higher.

Does higher difficulty in Skyrim affect experience?

Well, yes, and no. On it's own, altering the difficulty does not affect skill gain rates. What it does affect is damage done and received, which adjusts the rate it takes to learn offensive and defensive skills.
